" " I'm excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it connects me with a community of people who believe in saving the world from the atrocities which are occurring. It gives me the platform to work on various environmental issues like Delhi's AQI problem. I want to work to save the environment from the harm it is being subjected to and also save the people from the consequences of their actions of destroying the environment." "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Clothing India

Clothing India is a campus-led circular fashion initiative designed to redirect surplus clothing from JGU hostels into sustainable textile pathways through a closed-loop model of collection, sorting, redistribution, and upcycling. During the Diwali campus drive, I coordinated the design and implementation of the collection framework in collaboration with the Office of Sustainability and JSDA, ensuring decentralised hostel-level drop-points and a structured sorting process that assessed each garment for reuse, repair, or recycling. The project’s core objective is to prevent textile waste by treating donated garments as resources that can re-enter circulation either as wearable items, upcycled products, or recyclable material. After the pilot stage and documentation of the circularity workflow, the Office of Academic Governance forwarded Clothing India to RESPUN, a Sonipat-based textile recovery and sustainability organisation, to integrate it into their established community-level circular systems. Through RESPUN, the collected clothing will now be processed, redistributed, or upcycled within a larger local ecosystem, enabling the initiative to scale beyond a one-time drive and contribute meaningfully to Sonipat’s circular economy.

Arshia Gupta is a bright and competitive law student at O.P. Jindal Global University. She was born in India and resides there only. In India, she was born in a state which is full of greenery and is covered with mountains with nearby. She has always loved travelling to mountain regions and love relaxing in nature just sitting around and being in peace. With recent times, she was very upset to see the destruction which was being caused to the nature leading to climate change. She hates seeing her favourite places changing and really want to do something about the climate change or contribute in some way so to stop the world from following the destructive path.
