National University of Advanced Legal Studies | Kochi, India | Advancing SDG 4 & UNAI 2
" Working with a vision, yields the greatest results. Being a Millennium Fellow will
definitely help me gain the right vision when working for the society. From the skills I acquire from this program I hope to streamline my action plan so that it will align with the UNSDGs. By God's grace I've always had a safe home to come back and rest after a day's activities. But I've seen those who don't have a proper home to sleep, work or play. This disturbing fact led me to work for this sustainable development goal in a neighbouring place. I hope to achieve this with the backing of a prestigious institution such as the UN. "

The project aims to sensitize the people about their rights and the various legal provisions avaliable to them with an aim to make them self-reliant and sustainable.The project aims to conduct various workshops and talks by bringing in activists and philanthropists. Our project focuses primarily on SDG Goal 4 focusing on quality education and increasing opportunities for the youth . The initial leg of the project would focus on making the youth of Shanthipuram more aware of the educational opportunities avaliable to them and helping them make an informed decision about their furture. By the end of the programme the project seeks to make the community more literate and empowered in a way that are aware of their rights and can now fight for what is rightfully theirs.
