" "I believe that every woman deserves to walk through life with confidence, dignity, and freedom from fear. My work on women’s safety is not just a project—it’s a mission to challenge norms, spark awareness, and build communities where safety is a shared responsibility. The Millennium Fellowship will give me the platform and network to turn this vision into impactful action, creating lasting change aligned with the UNAI principles and SDGs." "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Zariya
We all know the importance of quality education.
Many programs and schemes are working for
betterment in this sector, but issues persist. For
instance, the inefficient ratio of the number of
students and the number of teachers assigned to
them—one teacher is responsible for a large
number of students, making learning difficult for
each one of them. Another issue is punctuality
and attendance of the teachers, who often do not
perform their duties honestly. Also, children are
admitted on the basis of their age rather than
their academic capabilities, which further makes
it difficult for them to cope with the syllabus.So,
the children who study in government schools
and belong to socially and economically
marginalised areas face difficulties in competing
with other students who are from a fairly well-off
background. So to make these children
competent and confident in their academic lives,
this project sponsors their coaching and tutoring
and promotes their holistic development. Our
beneficiaries include the children of rickshaw
pullers, house help, daily wage earners, etc. We
collaborate with leading learning institutions and
find sponsors who can at least support two
students in their learning journey. To scale up the impact, we will be incorporating various workshops and sessions based on personality development, career guidance, emotional intelligence, financial literacy, etc. for the students to ensure their holistic development.
Simultaneously, we provide the students'
progress reports to their respective sponsors.
