" “There are endless issues and struggles in the world, and making a small effort to face challenges and tackle them can go a long way. I feel that through the Millennium Fellowship, I'll gain experience that will help me be part of the change and contribute to the SDGs. I'm looking forward to work as a fellow and learning the necessary skills for creating social impact.” "
Millennium Fellowship Project: The Campus Keepers
Our college consists of a lot of migrant workers who work in a variety of fields like gardening, cleaning, security, food, etc. However, they are not the only migrants on campus, as many faculty members are also migrants. We observe a massive difference between how these people are treated and viewed by both the management and students. This creates a hierarchy of jobs. We would like to interview as many people as possible to understand the issue. It would help us analyze the extent and causes and come up with solutions. We want to make a difference in society by first making a difference in the society we live in.
