Millennium Fellowship Project: Empowering Future Of Kashmir Through Education
Kashmir Education Empowering Futures is an initiative focused on improving education and youth empowerment in conflict-affected Kashmir. By conducting surveys and interviews with students and educators, the project aims to identify key challenges such as resource scarcity, the psychological impact of conflict, and a lack of career guidance. The goal is to address these issues by providing resources, mental health support, and skill-building opportunities. Ultimately, the project seeks to create a more robust education system that fosters academic excellence, emotional well-being, and social empowerment among Kashmir's youth, contributing to a more peaceful and prosperous future for the region.
