" As a law student, I am acutely aware of the violations of traffic laws, road and vehicular standards, and other protocols that are essential for keeping Kathmandu's air clean and breathable. The collaboration and support I receive from the Millennium Fellowship will greatly enhance my efforts to make the air in Kathmandu safer to inhale. I am excited to develop innovative solutions and apply creative approaches to address these challenges effectively, in alignment with the UNAI principles and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Swachha saas
Kathmandu secures the place as one of the top most polluted cities in the world. Vehicular pollution remains one of the major contributing factor to it. Nepalese government has addressed vehicular pollution through various laws. Since a couple of years they have also introduced initiatives to address this issue. Yet, for some reason, they have cleary failed to do so. For this project me along with my fellow group members take an initiative to find an answer for a question. "why has the laws and government action failed to reduce vehicular pollution in the valley of kathmandu?" We, the students of law, want to make an impact by taking an initiative into making a report in this topic. We will carry out a legal research on this issue which for some reason has been neglected by all. This project if accepted can have a lasting impact on Nepal's environmental law. It can be a ground from where "we youths" can embark our journey of environmental activism and make a lasting change in this world. This project is going to be catalyst of change. It is not only going to address the environment but the human rights aspect as well.
