She makes it a point to deliver all of my recommendations in tangible formats, primarily PowerPoint presentations and reports, a skill she has honed through her university's curriculum and student-run consulting organisations. Even though Manvi is still thriving to develop a deeper understanding of communities and industries worldwide, she believes her eagerness to learn and walk that extra mile can be adjusted for the same.

" Millennium Fellowship Project: RAKT (Rapid Action Kinsfolk Team) National Service Scheme DTU's RAKT initiative connects willing blood donors with receivers. Since its commencement in 2019, we have made a difference in thousands of lives, from a six-month-old baby to adults suffering from typical age-related disorders, thanks to the efforts of our staff. I and my colleagues proactively urge more individuals to donate blood after conducting blood donation campaigns in partnership with a number of NGOs. Since the second wave of COVID-19, our team has been dealing with over 100 instances per day involving plasma donation, hospital/oxygen bed needs, and other emergency ailments. Our team works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to secure oxygen cylinders and plasma donors for COVID-19 patients and those suffering from blood disorders. Through our social media accounts, I personally ensure that these instances reach as many people as possible in order to identify a donor with the appropriate blood group as quickly as feasible.
