" I am thrilled to be a Millennium Fellow because it aligns with my commitment to driving meaningful change and addressing pressing social issues. My work is fueled by a deep-seated belief in social justice and gender equality. By collaborating with like-minded individuals and harnessing innovative solutions, I aim to contribute to a world where opportunities are accessible to all, and inequalities are actively addressed.

Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Milan
Project Milan is a social impact initiative dedicated to supporting the needs of elderly individuals by collaborating with old age homes to foster a more compassionate and inclusive society. According to the United Nations Population Division, India is undergoing rapid population ageing, with the number of elderly citizens (aged 60 and above) expected to reach nearly 300 million by 2050. This demographic shift brings significant challenges, including social isolation and loneliness, particularly in urban areas where changing family dynamics and migration patterns have weakened traditional social support systems. In response to these challenges, Project Milan aims to organize interactive sessions to rekindle interests, evoke cherished memories and cultivate a vibrant sense of community and joy among elderly residents. Our activities include celebrating popular festivals, engaging in traditional crafts like knitting and weaving, enjoying music, playing games, hosting culinary sessions, and conducting diya-painting workshops to build meaningful connections with the residents. Additionally, we are committed to ensuring the mental and physical well-being of the elderly by incorporating regular healthcare checkups into our initiative.
