" Engineering is the bedrock of progress, but its true power lies in its application for societal good. I am excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it offers a platform to translate engineering solutions into tangible impacts, especially in underserved communities. Furthermore, the fellowship offers a wide range of resources and mentors to guide us in the project implementation. By merging engineering, business, and philanthropy, I aim to create autonomous models that address critical challenges and inspire a new generation of problem solvers which is in alignment with SDGs and UNAI principles. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Think Global Act Local
My Think Global Act local project is an
environment protection project.
My project is aimed at awareness creation to the
perpetrators of climate injustices, the project
goes forward to show people how they can come
to the fight of climate action even at the lowest
levels.
From the smallest of not littering, proper waste
disposal to increased awareness and uptake of
other forms of energy for day-to-day living like
cooking.
I aim to call out my friends who litter and walk on
the lawns, i bring awareness on environmental
sustainable energy alternatives to my family, so
that they don't cook with charcoal and firewood
but use electricity.
I ask people to carry a shopping bag to the
supermarket so that they are not given more
polyethene bags.
train and support recycling ventures.
I look at what is done globally, the work
strategies and I implement them to my friends,
my family, my club and university.
