" As Frederick Halsey Jr. once said, "There are no great people in this world, only great challenges which ordinary people rise to meet." This resonates deeply because I believe changes begin when we, ordinary people, endeavor to address the challenges in the world. As a Millennium Fellow, I believe this would be the right platform to not only rise to the challenges but also empower others to do so. Through our project of legal sensitization in nearby schools, we hope to contribute to society by informing young minds and preparing them to advocate for their rights. This project, we hope, would make a difference for the present as well as for future generations. "

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

Nandana is a bright, determined law student from Hidayatullah National Law University.

With this newfound sense of purpose, Nandana wishes to leverage her legal knowledge and skills to work closely with the community. She believes it is never too late to contribute meaningfully to the pressing issues of the world and is committed to integrating these values into her career. Nandana aspires to be a changemaker who supports UN initiatives toward creating a sustainable and just world, where equity and justice are accessible to all.
