" The Millennium Fellowship presents an invaluable opportunity for me to amplify my impact in bridging the global digital divide. By participating in the fellowship, I will gain access to a supportive community of like-minded undergraduate students committed to social impact. This network will provide me with mentorship, resources, and collaboration opportunities to further develop and implement my Digital Literacy Programme. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Know Your Wallet
"We aim to empower children in government schools and collaborate with children-based NGOs in Urban Bengaluru who lack financial literacy programs. To ensure accessibility and reach the target population effectively, we will conduct our sessions in the regional language, Kannada. Our curriculum covers fundamental concepts of personal finance, including understanding money, budgeting, saving techniques, and the basics of banking. To make learning fun and engaging, our sessions are highly interactive, integrating art, games, and animated cartoons.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, India underwent a significant digital transformation, witnessing a shift from traditional paper money transactions to the Unified Payments Interface (UPI). In light of this, our initiative aims to address a crucial segment of society: adults working in the unorganised sector. Our focus is on equipping them with skills to navigate this digital realm by teaching them how to open a bank account and utilise digital payment methods for seamless fund transfers, bill payments, etc."
