Millennium Fellowship Project: Ignited Minds Conference
Ignited Minds Conference is an initiative started by IViL - IIT for Villages, in the year 2012 to sensitise the students of urban schools about rural India, about the side of India they do not see. An urban student may not connect with the various plights and the state of rural India directly into his/her life. In today's fast-paced world, urban centres often encapsulate modernity, technological advancements, and an array of opportunities. However, amid the bustling city life, it's easy to lose sight of rural India's equally significant and intricate fabric, which embodies a profound heritage, wisdom, and rich cultural roots.
“The soul of India lies in the villages,” and sensitising the urban with this is something that we aim to achieve through the conference.
