" Originality and expansion of knowledge. Over the years, new knowledge has emerged, unfortunately many sit on it because they don't have platforms to express their ideas. Millennium Fellowship has surely covered up this. It's a space in which interactions, sharing of knowledge and encouragement is found. Being a Millennium Fellow will not only improve my skills, have my views heard but also provide a platform for me to learn and unlearn. It will additionally give me new connections with creative fellows all over the globe. "
