My participation in the Rotary Peace Fellowship program will profoundly impact me by equipping me with advanced knowledge and practical skills in peacebuilding and conflict resolution.

This experience will significantly broaden my perspective, foster a deep understanding of local as well as international significantly broaden my perspective, foster a deep understanding of local as well as international peace issues, and empower me to drive meaningful change towards a more peaceful society.

Upon returning to my home country, my immediate goal is to conduct comprehensive research on conflict and poverty in the North Maharashtra Region, which includes some of the poorest and most conflict-prone districts. My research will focus on assessing the effectiveness of existing peacebuilding practices, identifying their shortcomings, and developing new strategies that address the root causes of conflict and poverty in this area.

By understanding the local dynamics and challenges, I aim to propose innovative and practical solutions tailored to the needs of the community. In the long term, I plan to collaborate with local Rotary clubs and organizations such as Pradan, AnandGhar, and Tarunaai to implement sustainable peacebuilding projects based on the findings of my research. These projects will not only aim to prevent conflicts but also create livelihood opportunities for the local population.
