" I am always active when it comes to projects that have a positive impact on society, and being a Millennium Fellow will enhance my social skills. It will also make me someone who can work in different environments with different kinds of people. i see this as an opportunity to elevate my skills and be productive both individually and socially. It's an opportunity to interact with bright brains "
Millennium Fellowship Project: MENTALLY STRONGER
The project mainly focuses on the youth who are undergoing mental health issues and how society disregards them and terms them as weak, rather than giving them a helping hand. i am also interested in adding the connection between gut health well-being, and mental well-being into my project. My main aim is to create a safe space for people to open up and talk about their problems without facing any kind of stigma. i also added into my talks the importance of environmental conservation. i always loved trees and greeneries in general. i hated whenever i saw people cutting trees without planting. this aspect of environmental conservation was not my main aim or my main project but since i love the environment, i emphasised on the importance of guarding our planet during my talks.
