" The Millennium Fellowship will equip me with the knowledge and skills to scale the impact I aim to bring about. It will help me connect with like-minded individuals from various cultural and intellectual backgrounds and provide a formal platform to organize and mobilize my efforts. It will enable me to translate my ideas into reality via structured guidance, relevant resources etc. "

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.
