" The joy that doing something to change the world around gave me was immense
despite all my efforts being extremely small scale.Simply the thought of this joy being
magnified made me elated.In order to bring in a transformation globally, it is
mandatory that I reach out to a wider audience and strongly believe that the
Fellowship will help me in achieving the same.Another thing I look forward to is being
able to network with other like minded individuals and learn about their causes and
projects, as well as being open to their inputs on mine. I hope to touch the lives of
many under the able assistance of the Fellowship. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Sanctuary

The project aims to be a multi-purpose forum and a safe space for women in our
college community to express themselves without the fear of judgement.
Sanctuary will also help share information and encourage healthy discussions
on various intersectional themes such as colourism in India, menstruation
taboos and more, culminating in the path to gender equality. Additionally,
Sanctuary will augment the discussion forum with social media exploring
experiences, as well as devising additional targets to accomplish the goal of
gender equality. While Sanctuary has synthesized as a conversation starter, it
aims to evolve into a sound solution of appreciable value.
A tentative plan for the project would consist of:
- Creation of a social media page to create a digital space that would
improve the scope of the project.
- Generating social media posts, and creating a digital forum through
platforms like Discord to ensure that more people can benefit from the project.
- Since it is not just about sharing experiences but also about creating a
safe space, ensuring that people who require professional help get it.
- Reaching out to mental health professionals and NGOs
The project will make us confront the probing questions in our minds and hearts
and eventually lead to drawing up plans or solutions to problems we encounter
