" I've always believed that education is the starting point of everything, because it gives people the courage to dream bigger, question the world around them, and create opportunities for themselves. Yet, even as the world continues to progress, so many are still left behind without access to this basic right. For me, education is not just about knowledge, but about dignity and the confidence to shape one’s own life. I'm excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it offers the chance to learn, collaborate, and act on this belief alongside passionate change makers. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Vidya Prabha
I am working on "Vidhya Prabha", a project focused on ensuring that children from underprivileged areas get the education they deserve. After witnessing a pathetic situation in my village where children are eager to learn, but struggle because of poor teaching and the lack of resources. I aim to enhance the learning experience at schools with interactive classes and extracurricular activities. I believe that if the children are equipped with the right resources at the right time would help build a bright future for themselves as well as for the entire country. My ultimate vision is to not use 'access to resources' as an excuse for depriving children of the quality education they deserve.
