" Creativity and academics are to go hand in hand. I believe not only academics but extra curricular activities are also an essential part of a person's personality
development. I'm a sports enthusiast who believes I can do anything and everything if I want to. This Millinuem Fellowship will help me develop and polish my leadership skills and help me utilise my abilities Ik the right direction for the right cause. I want to open an NGO and I believe this fellowship can help me achieve that goal because I get to work with like minded people that are also thriving for a similar cause. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Eradication of Child Exploitation
I am excited to share my plan to cope with child labour, something i deeply care about. As a law student, I'm committed to battle child labor through strategic legal interventions. I will focus on research and analyse existing laws related to child labor, identify the loopholes and advocate for policy reforms to strengthen protections for victims of child labour . Additionally, I will work on developing a community to educate families and children about their rights and available resources. After being exposed to international communities through this fellowship, I will broaden my approach by collaborating with global partners to share insights, learn from successful initiatives in other regions and advocate for international standards to combat child labor effectively. By combining legal expertise with international collaboration, I aim to implement comprehensive strategies that address the root causes of child labor and create lasting change on a global scale.
