The Fellowship taught me to contribute and grow while staying grounded as a conservationist and social entrepreneur. Afterward, I co-founded the Kenono Foundation to support community conservation and develop conservation enterprises in Nagaland around coffee, ecotourism, and carbon credits. I also actively support Zunpha Multipurpose Cooperative Society Ltd, a grassroots enterprise and leader in Nagaland's development space.

Visiting rural-tribal areas in my state as a part of college rural camp and working with a rural NGO changed my perspective on life. Realizing how privileged I am, and feeling deeply empathized and inspired by the realities I saw at the grassroots made me want to rush back to the villages to experience a life through the lens of those communities. Exploring this Fellowship gave me a rush of excitement! It offers a grassroots-based opportunity with a specific focus on engaging with communities which is exactly what I was looking for. The dynamic nature of work that makes it different from a typical job was very appealing to me as I gave up on a corporate job opportunity to exercise my true passion. The strict 'no home state policy' was yet another pulling factor as I have always enjoyed moving to new places, exploring them and interacting with diverse communities. To work with the NGO and the local villagers for a cause that would make a difference to their lives in the smallest ways felt like my calling. 2021-22 masses. I hoped to emulate their influence and motivation in my Fellowship journey, which inspired me to take it up..

I joined the Fellowship for two reasons. Firstly, comming from an Economics background, I was fascinated by the nuances and factors that impact a village economy. The Fellowship provided an ideal platform for my personal learnig. Secondly, my major influences in life have been politically and socially conscious individuals who wanted to represent and amplify the voices of the masses. I hoped to emulate their influence and motivation in my Fellowship journey, wich inspired me to take it up.

To say that the Fellowship changed my life is an understatement. I went from a traditional corporate career in tech I was very dissatisfied with, to a career in the social sector I am extremely passionate about. The Fellowship taught me not only how to work in the nonprofit sector but also many life skills, like resilience, community, and leadership.

In the past 5 years, I met people promoting sustainable living and organic farming. Being from Punjab, I've seen the harmful effects of chemical farming. SBI YFI Fellowship places Fellows with reputable NGOs in remote areas, which I saw as an opportunity to answer questions like whether minimalistic living is the solution and how people without scientific knowledge of farming grow food. I also wanted to identify the real need of the remote villages of India.
