About Us

What
Life Model
We call our working model as “LIFE: Liberation Inside Four Es” The Four Es stand for Education, Ethics, Environment and Economics, its an integrated approach as we believe that liberation of all beings encircled within four fundamental components of life. We use an approach that combines challenges pertaining to all four Es and brings an integrated and inclusive solution with the aim to have peace in the society. We work with an objective to achieve overall well-being, inclusive growth, peaceful coexistence and sustainable living by understanding self, and reflecting upon individual actions and their impact of self and others to address various issues like various challenges.
Why
Increasing Violence
Peace is not a destination, peace itself is the path. There is no state where an individual or a society attains peace all of a sudden, peace is outcome of an environment of safety and security within individual mind and in collective minds called society. Recent years are witnessing serious increase in various form of violence that are posing threat to peace in various ways.
How
Non Violence
If peace is absence of violence, it is not possible to work towards more peaceful world by using violence as instrument of achieving peace.Therefore, non violence becomes inseparable and essential element of our work. We understand Peace as absence of any forms of violence. Our methods of pursuing change and designing actions are based on pure non violent methods inspired by leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr.. Violence in any form starting from psychological (anger & hate) to verbal and physical violence is not part of our work.

Ethics
Do not treat others the way you do not want to be treated.” I vs you, They Vs US -Inequality (conscious or unconscious) within our minds against others is fundamental root cause of problems in the world pertaining to outer conditioning.
Link
Ecology
Co-existence with and other forms of life / other species with respect, and not dominance over other is the core idea. The diference between how much we take and how much we contribute back is what contributes to the kind of world (in terms of Climate digradation) we aive in.
Link
Economy
A democracy cannot be “Of the people, by the people and for the people” unless Market is exhibiting similar spirit. Unfortunateay, Market is about “Of the stakeholders, by stakeholders and for stakeholders” and this neglects the negative externalities towards the rest.
