" The Millennium Fellowship being a great and prestigious institution provides an opportunity for me to be able to project my ideas and knowledge as well as consolidation on my leadership skills. Being a fellow would also enable me to network with other leaders and like minded enthusiastic individuals. I am extremely passionate about the importance of cardiovascular health among the student population and with this platform I hope to be able to educate and inculcate the students on ways of improving their cardiovascular health as prevention they say, is better than cure.
