Ever since the advent of life on planet Earth…

man has learnt to live and adapt himself to the

ever changing environment. However

somewhere down this journey of human

evolution terms like Humans & Humanity have

lost their meaning and have been replaced by

insanity, selfishness and greed.

Human development radar sweeps across a wide

spectrum of issues… Some social scientists argue

that Human development is about putting people

at the centre of development. According to them

it is a matter of making people realize their

potential, increasing their choices and enjoying

the freedom to lead lives. And the purpose of

development is to enlarge all human choices, not

just income but to create an economic and

political environment where people can expand

their human capabilities.

The aim of our organization to make people

human. To wake them up, sensitize them and

make them feel the pain, suffering and sorrow of

fellow human beings and to help them discover

their basic human values. You might call us a

factory, processing people, churning out human

beings.

We envision a future where each and every

individual or group is able and free to participate

in all spheres of society, based on universally

accepted principles and standards of human

rights, values and democratic freedoms for all in

a holistic development process.

As the Dalai Lama spelt out, “I believe that

humanity must develop a greater sense of

Universal Responsibility. Each of us must learn to

work not just for our individual self, family or

nation, but for the benefit of all mankind.”

• A healthy planet with-- good life with dignity

for everyone on it.

• A peaceful, just, pollution-free, crime-free

and disease-free world full of knowledge,

hope, tolerance and compassion where

justice is delivered at the doorstep of the

consumer and no one is deprived of basic

human needs like food, shelter or clothing. In

fact, everyone has equal opportunities of

earning their daily bread and access to clean

water and sanitation.

• To energize the lives and spread happiness in

the homes of the faceless and

underprivileged masses of India.

• We see our role as a caring, friendly and non-

partisan helping hand for sharing an

opportunity to people to educate themselves,

stay healthy, earn a decent, dignified living,

raise healthy families, and participate in

democratic life. Above all our endeavor is to

achieve social, economic and environmental

justice.

It is better to light one small candle than to

curse the darkness… This is in keeping with the

phrase, nothing gained unless ventured—in other

words, it’s next to impossible to reach the final

destination unless we take the first initial step.

All this is based on the eternal truth that God

helps those who help themselves.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: To ensure a healthy and bountiful

Planet- for sustainable development and wellbeing of all

humans. We want a healthy and smiling planet a life worth

living—anywhere, everywhere.

THE PROBLEM—lies with the people’s attitude toward

the environment. In their hectic and busy lifestyle many

people rarely pay heed to maintaining the equilibrium of

the planet and take steps to eliminate the threats of

pollution. Some people also have the tendency of

throwing waste on the streets. While doing so they forget

that the same waste besides polluting the environment

can foster a large number of bugs and mosquitoes which

cause fatal diseases. The point to be considered is that

large amount of the waste materials which people regard

as utterly useless can be recycled.

THE SOLUTION: -an ecological battle to save Planet Earth.

This is the need of the hour for the very survival of Earth

and all living things. Our strategic objective is to reverse

global destruction and limit the adverse effects of climate

change through policy level advocacy, social networking,

communication, awareness generation, education,

motivation and empowerment of the people. Our

ultimate goal is to expand human knowledge and benefit

society through research and awareness generation.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: To improve the country’s

healthcare delivery machinery, ease the pain, save lives

and improve the living conditions of the people craving

for standardized and quality Medicare….

THE PROBLEM—

• Every year nearly one million Indians die due to

inadequate healthcare facilities This includes

around 2.2 million infants and 450 mothers per

100,000 live births – who die due to avoidable

pregnancy related causes.

• Every 5 minutes one woman dies from a

pregnancy-related cause in India

• 65 % of population-- 700 million people do not

have access to modern medicine or any

specialized care.

• There is only 1 doctor, for every 10,000 Indians.

• About 80 % doctors, 75 % dispensaries and 60 %

hospitals are located in urban areas

THE SOLUTION — lies in providing high-quality,

affordable, primary and multi specialty healthcare at the

doorsteps of villagers in rural India who are in dire need

of quality medical treatment. The philosophy behind this

is to bring new and proven medical technologies and

treatment methods to the doorstep of the common man

in India who could not afford to travel and access latest

treatments available worldwide. The benefits include

relief from unnecessary suffering, pain and prevention of

hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Strengthen, protect and sustain the

rule of law for human and economic development in a fair,

just, secular, democratic and humanitarian society which

respects human rights and human dignity in all walks of life, as

well as support frameworks for legal, judicial and

constitutional reforms to ensure freedom, equality and

prosperity in true sense for every Indian.

THE PROBLEM: Even though the British have left—

hangover of the British Raj continues to loom over the

Indian legal system. The Indian judicial system still lacks

the resources to meet the needs of India's more than 1

billion citizens. The state of affairs of the Indian legal

system attracted, Supreme Court bench of Justices B N

Aggrawal and G S Singhvi to comment, "Even God will not

be able to save this country. In India even if God comes

down he cannot change our country. Our country's

character has gone. We are helpless."

THE SOLUTION: lies in what Justice D A Desai, Chairman,

11th Law Commission of India said many years ago, “Like

any soap or toothpaste... Justice too is a consumer

product of an industry called Judges & Lawyers

Combine….Just like a salesperson goes door to door to

sell his product….justice should be dispenced at the

doorstep of the people who are its consumers.” To do so

all the stakeholder need to strengthen the rule of law and

mobilize public awareness on issues of public importance

like injustice, inequalities & corruption. This is beside

promotion of legal awareness and literacy among weak,

down-trodden and poor for social and economic justice

as well as encourage, informing and influencing public

debate on issues affecting legal and democratic rights.

THE SUB-MISSIONS: • Taskforce on Archiach & redundant laws

• Taskforce on free legal aid for poor & needy people

• Taskforce on public interest litigation

• Taskforce on consumer laws

Mission Law & Human Rights: Justice – at

doorstep of the Citizen

of 15

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: To work for the overall welfare and

empowerment of the poor, particularly women and

children. And to provide guidance about good health and

nutrition and make them aware of their rights and duties

and bring about sustainable improvements in four key

areas: health, nutrition, education & child protection.

THE PROBLEM: For a healthy family, it is important that

each member is strong and healthy. Yet as many as 2.8

million children and 300,000 women die every year

because of malnutrition in developing countries. Besides

social discrimination and poor health women have to

undergo the trauma of rape, female foeticide, dowry

deaths, child marriage and sexual harassment. Likewise

children are the primary assets of any country. Children’s

Development is as important as the development of

material resources and the best way to develop national

human resources is to take care of children. When it

comes to that India has the largest child population in the

world. This notwithstanding, majority of children

experience underprivileged childhood starting from birth.

The infant mortality rate of Indian children is 50 and the

under-five mortality rate is 93. 25% of newborn children

are underweight among other nutritional, immunization

and educational deficiencies of children in India.

THE SOLUTION- No nation can progress unless all the

segments and strata’s of the society are educated, enjoy

equal rights and move hand in hand to partner in each

other’s progress. It is sometimes said educate a boy and

you educate an individual but when you educate a girl

she contributes to the wellbeing and betterment of the

family and society at large.

• Task force on Legal Advice on Crime against Women

• Task force on gender sensitivity & women’s issues

• Task force on girl child

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: work towards establishment of an

alternate policing system where the police is not something to

be feared in the public-eye and evolve an effective means of

bridging the gap between the police and the public.

THE PROBLEM: the police have an important role to play

in maintaining law and order and a crime-free society.

Despite this the crime rate is increasing every year. The

main reason for this is that the number of policemen is

grossly insufficient. In such situation the police cannot

possibly control the crime easily. Another reason for the

increasing crime is the lack of faith of the public on the

police. Many people do not even the crime out of fear of

the police or simply because of the belief that police

might be hand-in-glove with the criminals. Both the

reasons are justified. The situation is worse in rural areas.

THE SOLUTION- Blaming system and police is not the

solution of this problem. What can police do when it does

not get the report of the crime? There are not enough

police personnel to provide safety to each and every

person. The government also has some limitations due to

which it can not increase the strength of police and forces

beyond a limit. Keeping all these things in mind, a change

in the policing system is the need of the hour. Community

policing is a philosophy that promotes organizational

strategies, which support the systematic use of partnerships

and problem-solving techniques, to proactively address the

immediate conditions that give rise to public safety issues such

as crime, social disorder, and fear of crime. It seeks to develop

collaborative partnerships between the law enforcement

agency and public individuals and organizations to solve

problems and improve their confidence in the criminal

justice system and the police in particular. Needless to

say the fear of the police in people’s minds is replaced by

a genuine respect and overall image of the police

improves.

• Task force on Crime Prevention • Task force on Traffic & the Common Man

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: social, educational and economic

development and empowerment of the disadvantaged and

marginalized sections of the society like Scheduled Castes,

Backward Classes , Persons with Disabilities & Senior Citizens.

THE PROBLEM: Despite the fact that untouchability or

discriminating based on caste is legally forbidden--

previously called the "depressed classes" by the British--

the SCs/STs together comprising over 24% of India's

population continue to bear the brunt of social

discrimination in one form or another. Although the

preamble of the constitution promises JUSTICE, social,

economic and political for all its citizens. In addition to

this there are many fundamental and other rights

promised in the constitution like- Prohibition of traffic in

human beings and forced labour and prohibition of

employment of children in factories- the people from the

lower castes have still not been able to break the barriers

of their caste. A recent survey investigating the extent of

“untouchability” in 565 villages in 11 Indian states found

that “untouchability” was still practiced in almost 80 % of

the villages. Even Prime Minister Manmohan Singh

commented : “Dalits have faced a unique discrimination

in our society that is fundamentally different from the

problems of minority groups in general. The only parallel

to the practice of ‘untouchability’ was Apartheid in South

Africa. Untouchability is not just social discrimination. It is

a blot on humanity.”

THE SOLUTION- lies in implementing laws and

government policies to secure protection and

development of Dalits, and women in particular.

THE SUB-MISSIONS:

• Task force on empowering people with disabilities • Task force on Equal justice and free legal aid

• Task force on preventing traffic in human beings

and forced labour

• Task Force for promoting educational & economic

interests of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes

and other weaker sections

Mission Empowerment & Social Justice -

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: collaboration and coordination

between government, non-government, non-profit, and

business sector to ensure that all children—regardless of

socioeconomic diversity—have access to quality education to

lead empowered and productive lives.

THE PROBLEM: It is a paradox that on one had we have

the second largest education system in the world yet less

than one third of the over 100 crore people in India are

able to read or write. World’s 30% illiterate population

comes from India. To top it all we have the lowest

enrollment (China 99%, India 92%) and the highest drop

out rate in the world. Many student of rural area receive

a poor education and more of them leave the school

before the 5th standard. A large number of teachers

refuse to teach in rural areas and those that do are

usually under-qualified. Almost 60 % of girls in rural areas

are not educated. It is still not being realized that there is

definite connection between education, good

motherhood and efficient house management.

THE SOLUTION- Democracy without education is

meaningless. It is education and not freedom that makes

a nation great. "A state may pass a law, making education

compulsory but unless people accept such laws, no state

can enforce them by military or police measures." For this

to happen for one, the state legislatures shouldn’t

micromanage the classroom.

THE SUB-MISSIONS:

• Task force for educating children with special needs

• Task force on training the trainers

• Task force on skill based learning for children & girls

from underpriviledged sections of the society

• Task force on non formal education

• Task Force on Functional & Adult Literacy • Task force on educating the girl child

PANEL

Topic: Diabetes Is Not A Disease Of Blood Sugar

millennia, diabetes has been considered to be a disease of high

blood sugar. Despite centuries of scientific progress, including

the discovery of insulin and, more recently, leptin, that myth

still prevails. The actual purpose of insulin is widely

misunderstood even in the medical community.

It is a disease of insulin. Many of the speakers concluded

that elevated blood sugar is merely the symptom of

diabetes, not its cause. The disease itself is one of

metabolic miscommunication. Diabetes, Cancer, Stroke,

Hypertension etc are all just symptoms. They are not the

disease. There is no "cure" for a symptom, you can only

"control" or lessen it. And the source of the symptom is

never fixed, or even treated.
