If you could talk to any person from the past or present, fictional or real, who would you pick? What would

If given the opportunity to engage in a conversation with any individual from the past or present, I would
choose to converse with Mahatma Gandhi. His life, philosophy, and leadership have left an indelible mark on
the world. I would discuss with him the principles of non-violence and truth, which were the cornerstones of
his philosophy. I would be eager to delve into his insights on how these principles can be applied in the

complex and interconnected world we live in today. Gandhi's ability to mobilize people through non-violent
civil disobedience had a profound impact on social and political change. I would seek his guidance on how
we can address contemporary challenges, promote peace, and foster understanding in a world often fraught
with conflict. Moreover, I would be interested in understanding his perspectives on leadership and the role of
individuals in creating positive societal change. Gandhi's life was a testament to the power of individual
actions, and I would inquire about his views on how ordinary individuals can contribute to the betterment of
society. In our conversation, I would also explore his views on the relevance of his principles in the digital
age, where communication and activism take new forms. How can we adapt these timeless principles to the
challenges and opportunities presented by modern technology and globalization? Overall, a conversation
with Mahatma Gandhi would not only provide insights into the historical context of his ideas but also offer
guidance on applying his principles to contemporary issues. His wisdom and commitment to non-violence
remain inspirational, and such a dialogue would be a valuable opportunity to learn from one of history's most
influential figures.
What are your professional and/or academic aspirations? What are two to three aspects of the YIF
programme that you believe will contribute to your stated aspirations in the medium to long term? (Max 350
words)
im by heart is social worker. Social work is my enduring passion, a flame that fuels my commitment to
fostering positive change. It is a belief in the transformative power of compassion and collective action to
address societal inequities. My passion extends beyond empathy; it's a call to amplify the voices of the
marginalized and advocate for justice. Social work is not merely a career but a vocation, a commitment to
standing alongside individuals and communities facing adversity. This passion motivates me to engage with
communities, understand their unique challenges, and collaboratively work towards sustainable solutions.
Every action, driven by this passion, becomes a catalyst for meaningful transformation, reinforcing my
dedication to being an agent of positive change in the world. and here are some aspects of the YIF
programme that I believe will contributes to our stated aspirations in the medium to long term
Interdisciplinary Learning and Exposure: The Young India Fellowship (YIF) program's emphasis on
interdisciplinary education is a pivotal aspect that aligns with my long-term aspirations. The curriculum's
diverse set of courses spanning humanities, social sciences, and business will provide me with a well-
rounded understanding of the complex challenges that society faces. This interdisciplinary approach is crucial
for cultivating versatility and the ability to approach issues from multiple perspectives. As I aspire to
contribute to innovative solutions at the intersection of technology, policy, and society, the YIF's broad
educational framework will equip me with the knowledge and insights necessary to navigate the complexities
of real-world problems. Experiential Learning and Industry Exposure: The YIF's commitment to experiential
learning and industry exposure is another critical factor that resonates with my goals. The program's hands-on
approach, including industry mentorship, workshops, and real-world projects, will bridge the gap between
theoretical knowledge and practical application. This experiential learning aspect is essential for honing my
problem-solving skills and gaining insights into the application of academic concepts in professional settings.
The exposure to real-world challenges will not only enhance my understanding but also empower me to make
meaningful contributions in the professional sphere. and last community and network building.
