" My work has always been driven by the desire to solve genuine problems, big and small, that I or my friends have faced. I wanted to experience a greater sense of fulfillment, and this has led me to apply to the Millennium Fellowship. I believe education to be the cornerstone of progress of any people, and its equitable access is important for a brighter future for all of us. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: GranthaRatna (Under Unnat Bharat Abhiyan)
GranthaRatna, in collaboration with Unnat Bharat Abhiyan initiative by Delhi University, focused on empowering rural communities, particularly in Jharoda village, through education and social awareness. Key initiatives included establishing a Model Learning Centre and a Community Library to provide access to educational resources, career counseling, and skill development opportunities. These efforts sought to foster literacy, improve socio-economic conditions, and promote sustainable community development by addressing gaps in education, sanitation, and awareness of government welfare schemes.
