" Compassion and justice are not just random words for me, but the soul of my heart. The Millennium Fellowship offers me a platform to execute and amplify the values I uphold. It is not just a fellowship, but my vision for a better nation where there is no 'mine' and 'thine' . Guided by Guru Nanak Dev Ji's timeless teachings, I aspire to create change that is deeply humane and constructive. The concept of Justice that I uphold is based on the distinction between right and wrong and not in the division of apna ( one's own ) and paraya ( the other). There are people who have everything in life yet they have nothing, and there are those who have nothing yet they have everything. I aspire to be among the latter, and I am truly excited to take my first step toward that journey. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Bridging Educational Gaps
Our Project focuses on promoting two key sustainable development goals. Education for all (SDG 6) & Human Rights (SDG 17). Our first mission is to empower underprivileged children by making them aware about the importance of education. We will interact with these students and learn about the challenges they are facing in their studies. Afterwards we will develop impactful solutions to address these challenges. We will also help them in their studies and encourage them to participate in cocurricular activities. If possible, we may also organise few co-curricular activities for such children. Our second mission is to provide information regarding Human Rights to school kids. As Human Rights is not a part of school curriculum, people remain unaware of these basic rights which are essential for their all round development and which they can easily avail. With this we sought to achieve peace, justice and strong institutions .
