" "My drive to create meaningful change stems from a belief that economic knowledge, when paired with empathy, can transform communities. The Millennium Fellowship offers an invaluable platform to refine my leadership, collaborate with change makers, and align my initiatives with the SDGs. I am excited to amplify my impact, bridging management and finance with social purpose, and work toward building sustainable, equitable solutions for the future." "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Guard Your Future
Guard Your Future (G.Y.F) is dedicated to improving the lives of security guards, and housekeeping staff in and around my campus, many of whom are migrant workers. The project focuses on four key areas: financial literacy, digital skills, health awareness, and educational planning for their children. From August to December 2025, four in-person sessions will be conducted. The first will be an interactive needs analysis discussion to understand their day to day challenges and design solutions accordingly. The following sessions will cover practical topics such as budgeting and saving, using UPI and communication apps, preventive healthcare and affordable treatment options, and guidance on scholarships and career pathways for their children. The initiative aims to reach and positively impact security guards and staff, equipping them with essential skills and resources to improve their daily lives and future opportunities.
