" I personally have seen the problems that my team are trying to fix, around me during my childhood. I want people to have access to the most basic necessity, that is easy access to clean water. If I can give back to the world through my interests then there is no better way to do it. This cause also poses a challenge towards me, to step out of my comfort zone which is another reason why i am excited to be a Millennium Fellow. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Neeru : A WaterWise Bengaluru
Project Neeru aligns with SDGs 6,13 and 14 by developing strategies to improve water conservation and access in resource-challenged areas of Bengaluru. It addresses water scarcity through lake rejuvenation projects and rainwater harvesting initiatives. Collaborating with NGOs based in Bengaluru, the team works on surveying encroached lakes, rejuvenating water bodies, constructing recharge pits, and fundraising efforts involving corporate partnerships. The project aims to explore the root causes of water scarcity and its redressal measures.
About the Millennium Fellow
Parth Khilnani is a young, sharp business student currently studying in the IT capital of India - Bengaluru. He has always been very enthusiastic about social causes, but being a mere student, he couldn't do much until he got this wonderful opportunity to give back to the world via the Millennium Fellowship program. He is currently studying in his second academic year of his undergraduate degree and constantly looking for opportunities to grow his skills and capabilities. This program not only offers him a platform to do that also gives him an opportunity to do something for the world through his interests, that are photography and content creation.
