About the Millennium Fellow
Athena Santhosh is a young, cheerful and optimistic law student at the National
University of Advanced Legal Studies. She was born in India, completed most of her school education in Saudi Arabia and later returned to India to complete her higher education. Her extremely friendly nature helped her expand her friend circle across borders. Her experiences in Saudi Arabia and India brought her close to the challenges that common people face in their daily lives. She has always been eager to help others and bring positive changes to society. The gender gap and environmental issues were the most troubling social issues for her. She tried to curb these issues by sensitizing the public about these crucial global challenges and how each person can bring a change. She aspires to be a lawyer and to work with the UN in the future to plan a better tomorrow.
