" Adaptability and mindfulness fuel my passion and creativity for positive global impact'. For me, gender equality is a topic which is beyond what is perceived. I believe that as a woman and as a human, it connects with me like no other purpose. It gives me purpose to fight and speak about it. My work is something in which I am mentally and emotionally invested as the way I interact with people, helps me to build a bond with them. With so many atrocities revolving around and occurring in day-to-day life, we must safeguard and protect equal rights and bring equal opportunity among the varied genders. Gender equality in households, workplaces, relationships, friendships, society and others can be brought through understanding the true meaning of gender. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Eco-Clean Community
Eco-Clean Communities is a vibrant campus initiative that fosters environmental sustainability and community engagement. Through a multifaceted approach, we tackle environmental challenges by organizing local clean-up drives and implementing innovative recycling programs. Our aim is not only to beautify our surroundings but also to inspire a deeper understanding of environmental issues and empower individuals to take meaningful action. From picking up litter in nearby parks to advocating for eco-friendly practices in campus facilities, our team is committed to making a tangible difference in our community. By bringing together students we create a collaborative environment where everyone can contribute to building a cleaner, greener future. Through our efforts, we aim to instil a sense of environmental stewardship and cultivate a culture of sustainability that extends beyond our campus borders. Our project was funded by Beacon NGO.
