" Innovation and precision, fueled by passion, drive my work. Being a part of the Millennium Fellowship will enhance these skills collaboratively. The skills I
gain from the Millennium Fellowship will make my social impact on advocacies for underpriviledged communities more tangible and aligned with the UNAl principles and SDGs. I am excited to increase my anticipatory competence by envisioning new ways of learning and creativity. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Udaan - Erasing the Digital Divide
Project Udaan aimed at reducing digital divide in students, especially in rural and backward areas and improve online learning opportunities. It works by creating a link between people who have outdated digital devices that they no longer use and people who have never had access to the digital world. This also helps in reducing the global e-waste generation by prolonging the useful life of a product.
