" I come from a part of the society that was left behind in terms of resources, opportunities and access, these hurdles that I face are nothing in comparison to what millions of people around the world face due to remoteness of their residence, lack of knowledge, and absence of awareness. For this very reason I want to generate awareness among the masses so that no one is left behind on the path to progress. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Pathways to Empowerment
Pathways to Empowerment is a transformative initiative designed to bridge the information gap in rural and underprivileged urban areas by equipping young students with essential knowledge about their legal rights and career pathways. This project aims to empower youth by making them aware of their rights, fostering confidence to make informed life choices, and expanding their understanding of diverse career options. By conducting workshops and interactive sessions in schools, Pathways to Empowerment not only nurtures informed, responsible citizens but also encourages socio-economic upliftment through education and empowerment.
