" Creativity and adaptability, fueled by systems thinking, drive my art and my work. Being a part of the Millennium Fellowship will enhance these skills. The skills I gain from Millennium Fellowship will make my social impact on many fields more tangible and aligned with the UNAI principles and SDGS. I'm excited to increase my anticipatory competence by envisioning new ways of learning and creativity. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Advancement of Rights of Marginalized Communities
Our university is based in a conflict zone that happens to be the world's most heavily militarized territory. With human rights violations being commonplace in Kashmir's theatre of war, civil rights are trampled upon frequently. This leaves the most disenfranchised groups in the valley particularly vulnerable to harm and injustice, at the hands of both the state and their fellow citizens. My project seeks to remedy that on a micro level by education and empowerment.
