" I want to cling on to the hope that an individual has enough agency in the world that they can still envision a better tomorrow. And if they do, the message needs to be spread across the whole globe. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Jagran

Project Jagran aims to address the challenges of child labor, limited education access, and lack of awareness among underprivileged children. Through targeted sessions, it empowers students with essential knowledge and tools to shape better futures. The initiative recently conducted four impactful sessions: two for grades 6th to 8th focused on menstruation, periods, and legal rights, and two for grades 9th and 10th centered on CLAT preparation and mental health awareness. By tailoring content to the specific needs of each group, the project fosters informed decision-making and academic success while promoting awareness of fundamental rights and well-being. Collaborating with local schools and communities, Project Jagran directly contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals such as No Poverty (Goal 1), Quality Education (Goal 4), Good Health and Well-being (Goal 3), and Reduced Inequalities (Goal 10), creating a meaningful and lasting social impact.

About the Millennium Fellow

Ayush Dutta is a student of law from Kolkata, West Bengal, India. He is ursuing his BA LLB (Hons.) degree from Hidayatullah National Law University in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India. He has always been driven to tackle the crisis that lies at the heart of all intersectioning inequalities- the global economic inequality and poverty. A staunch believer in equal access to basic means, he has grown to learn the systemic impact law and public policy has, as professional careers. He sees the universality of inequality and hierarchical structures behind caste structure in India and racism in American societies. He understands that these social issues need to be dealt with locally with a bottom up approach. This, by directly getting involved in research and academic study, he hopes to forward the values of the UN Sustainable Goals.
