" I feel technology is among the strongest instruments to produce significant change. My game development, AI, and sustainable innovation work stem from a passion to make problem-solving and learning more impactful and interesting. The Millennium Fellowship is appealing to me because it provides a platform to work together around the world, sharpen my skills, and apply my projects further towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals, increasing both their scope and their impact.

Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Green-Watch
Project GreenWatch is a youth-led climate action initiative designed and executed by the Millennium Fellows of Punjab Engineering College (PEC) under the Millennium Fellowship Class of 2025, aligned with the global theme “The Legacy We Build: Vision, Voice, and Action.”
The project responds to increasing climate vulnerabilities in North India—especially the 2023 Himachal Pradesh floods and recurring floods in Punjab and Chandigarh—by focusing on early climate education, creative awareness, and youth leadership development.
The initiative engages school children, youth, and communities through a combination of scientific learning, art-based expression, plantation drives, and digital outreach. It aims to not only spread knowledge about climate change but also build emotional connection, responsibility, and long-term stewardship among students.
