Our vision is to make this world a better place by helping to create equal opportunities for individuals and communities. We dream about a world wherein every kind of individual or community has access to food, potable water, sanitation, healthcare, infrastructure, education, and employment. We have conceptualized inclusive and sustainable development programmes to help facilitate the distribution of social and material benefits across social groups and categories. Our sustainable development goals also focus on how to help eliminate structural factors that cause and sustain the exclusion and marginalization of vulnerable groups from the mainstream.

We constantly strive to reach out to marginalized and vulnerable groups – women, the elderly, adolescents, youth and children, persons with disabilities, indigenous peoples, refugees, migrants, and minorities. We plan and implement long-term and short-term projects to enable the deprived sections of Indian society to live with dignity.

Our approach to the mission of developing the community is a realistic one. We have a long-term vision, and to fulfill this vision, we have adopted systematic and scientific methods. To make a panchayat/village economically and socially sustainable, we first identify the issues impeding its progress and then find viable solutions to these issues. We fix a timeframe to implement these solutions.

We prepare detailed project reports and try to complete a project within the allocated budget without compromising quality.

His transformational, insightful, and charismatic leadership has been motivating people to partake in his vision, a factor that has been enabling the organization to contribute its mite to the poverty eradication drives of centre and state governments.

Shabu graduated in Forestry and is currently working as an IFS Officer in Forest Research Institute, Dehradun. During his rich service span of over 30 years, he received exposure to diverse facets of forest management which, among others, included people management and community welfare, specially people in the hinterland and dependent on forests for their survival.  Highlight of his career has been the period spent in various islands of Andamans some of which even lacked basic conveniences.  He converted such challenges to opportunities to empathise with the local residents and serve their needs which has continued unabated in his other posting areas too, as he rejoices connecting with the marginalised & downtrodden people who depend on Forest for their livelihood, to educate them on livelihood opportunities, education, health & hygiene and in the process, attempts to mainstream them with the society.

Shabu firmly believes that as each has received a gift from the Almighty, we must use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.  He has actively participated in rehabilitation programs post natural disasters like Tsunami and also extended professional & personal support to COVID effected people.  Having worked so closely in addressing the needs of the marginalised community, he has an intense great desire to involve himself actively in social service and use his expertise & experience in catering to the needs of hapless people.
