WSIS Prizes Contest 2021 Champion

Qeemle Magazine


Description

Qeemle Magazine was founded in 2019 to enable students to have questions answered by pioneers of their fields of interest. Most of these young people are first-generation students who belong to low-income families and have moved to the city from unheard of villages and towns across the country. They often have a hard time navigating the whole college experience without the added stress of looking for internships and relevant work experience, as well as planning their futures. From embracing the abstract to engineering the real, education is imperative for one to obtain the tools necessary to enact upon thoughts. However, attending university can be a daunting experience if you feel that you have no reliable means to assuage your doubts, especially when your parents cannot relate to your struggle and the onus of succeeding in the classroom and getting your money's worth fall on your barely out-of-teenage shoulders. The student community at Qeemle interviews influential personalities and leaders of diverse fields; everyone from SEO experts to high-ranking government officials to CEOs of multinational corporations and travel bloggers are interviewed using questions formed by these students. 50,000+ readership of our content. 35+ impactful articles published. A women entrepreneurs centric series in the works. Fundraiser ongoing(60% of target achieved) to organize medical camps benefitting up to 800 underprivileged people in rural Ghaziabad, especially women and young girls.

Replicability

Yes, the project is replicable. At present, the team is working on developing a more comprehensive database of interview prospects, recruiting interns from pan-India and working on the branding and promotional aspect of the magazine, all while securing collaborations with college societies and clubs who share a similar vision as ours: to curate a student alliance which emphasizes on inspired teaching with avant-garde learning in an open and intellectually stimulating ambiance. They are also hosting live talks on a multitude of issues to generate awareness amongst the student community and will soon be hosting a series of independent talks under the TED banner.
