" "Diversity in all its forms is the path to greatness." — James D Wilson. As a Millennium Fellow, I am exited to take on a project tackling regional discrimination. As someone who is passionate about creating a more inclusive society, I am looking forward to integrate the principles of the Sustainable Development Goals and the UN guidelines. My initiative tries to empower individuals and communities to embrace their diversities and crumble the regional barriers. Through my journey of being a millennium fellow, I look forward to connecting with like minded peers, building a network of changemakers and evolving my communication and leadership skills. Together, we’ll create a world where everyone’s identity is valued, and regional differences become a beacon of our shared humanity.” "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Interfaith and Interregional Dialogue and Peacebuilding
The project was built upon identifying and understanding the challenges of people of different backgrounds who come to a place as diverse as Delhi and further bridging the gaps between different communities and people from different religions.
