" With each issue that our world continues to confront, I am hoping that this Fellowship allows us to inspire one another to make efficient use of our abilities to transform the areas around us into a better place. I believe that in order to be able to make a difference globally, you must first help those around you. I am grateful for UNAI and Team MCN for giving me this opportunity to bring a positive change in my community and connect with Fellow peers from around the world. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: United SDG Crusaders
My project lies in the amalgamation of sustainability and technology and works towards United Nations SDG 2030. Through an interactive online platform, we gather information from people about sanitation conditions in underprivileged areas and provide help in promoting environmental-friendly practices and implementing Zero-Wet Waste management. The project is currently focusing on SDGs 9 and 11 to spread awareness regarding online safety in the sector of Automotive Hacking. The initial half of my project was based on improving Covid 19 Healthcare conditions in India, and the second half is spreading awareness for sustainable development remotely and through in-person conferences or workshops.
