" Creativity and determination. Being a Millennium Fellow would give me the opportunity to enhance these skills because there are age-old traditions and problems which need creative solutions, and the art of determination will allow me to pursue those ideas relentlessly, even in the face of obstacles. This is the first step to establish my stand on the current scenarios and share it with the world at large to form a strong network committed to the same goals, collectively working towards a better future. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Chaitanya

Through Project Chaitanya, we aimed to promote gender equality, enhance self-awareness, and educate young minds about their rights and bodily autonomy. Our work is aligned with three key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: Quality Education, Gender Equality and Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions The Vision Behind Chaitanya
Even today, many young minds are brought up without a proper understanding of personal boundaries, self-respect, and basic rights. Gender inequality and violation of bodily integrity have been affecting people from all walks of life; however, this gap still exists while its discussion is openly done. Project Chaitanya was designed to bridge that gap and initiate meaningful discussions with young students. We hoped that guiding them on these sensitive topics early on would help them grow into informed individuals who could make empowered choices.

About the Millennium Fellow

Meenakshi Singh is a pragmatic and passionate law student from Symbiosis Law School, NOIDA. She hails from a small town of Sasaram in Bihar, and therefore she believes in building something up from grassroots to create a lasting impact. Her experience as a student has been marred by language barriers, cultural adjustment, stereotypes, and feeling of isolation till date, which has helped her establish a strong determination to work for bringing a change, on her own. Driven by the urge to create even a small change in the society, her focus is on empowering communities and building a future that aligns with her ideals of sustainability and social justice.
