Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Vidya Shakti (Empowering Education for Tribal Girls)
Project Vidya Shakti is a transformative 6-month initiative operating under the United Nations Millennium Fellowship. The project is centered on addressing the high middle school dropout rates among tribal girls in Jharkhand, India. The multifaceted approach involves tackling key barriers to education, including poverty, cultural norms, and the absence of role models. Through financial support, changes in cultural norms, provision of role models, and offering academic and life skills support, Vidya Shakti aims to create sustainable interventions that empower these young girls and enhance their access to education.
About the Millennium Fellow
Priya Kumari is a student of National University of Study and Research in Law, Jharkhand. She hails from the tribal state of Jharkhand from the Sahibganj District. Priya choose to associate with this project as she has an inclination towards bringing an improvement in the education of tribal girls because she has personally been associated with girls who have were deprived of the basic right in one or the other phase of age. She believes she can bring about a difference to some extent, if she receives a requisite platform to do so.
