A MISSION IN EARTH FOR THE SAKE OF NATURE & HUMANITY
VIEW POINT:
The earth has been stripped of her original beauty and natural calamities like flood, drought and earthquakes – the not so natural phenomenon occurs as man made disaster. The survival of the major population of the world are an impossible dream today and are suffering from psychological distress, the people of the third countries even don’t know the taste of the fruit of freedom, - freedom from hunger, insecurity, injustice and indignity.
Today we see no end to the multifarious forms of social, economical and environmental problems prevalent in India. Numerous corruption, ruthless exploitations, poor education system and exploding population are increasing unemployment and poverty day by day. Massive exploitation of natural resources, environmental rap and ecological crisis, has poisoned the air, ravaged the soil, stripped the forest bare and corrupted the water resources leading to an unsecured future. The country’s education curriculums do not include appreciation of nature, experiential education and understanding of environmental crisis and its effect on us. The problems we are facing today, demands a change of attitudes, values and priorities on a political, cultural and personal level. It requires a bold rethinking of how we relate to each other and our world.
What we need is a proper education system that allows the human potentials to contribute towards a peaceful and healthy world. We believe that an Eco-friendly Education System has a critical role to play in becoming a part of the solution.
With this view, to make the people aware of the grave problems the human family is facing today and also to investigate deep into the matter the UNITED HUMAN RESOURCE (UHR), a revolutionary non-confessional humanitarian social organization was formed in the summer of 2001. UHR is dedicated to launching Human Resource Developmental activities associated with environmental and socioeconomic issues in India. The specific objective of the organization is to constitute the Eco-friendly Education System to impart vocational and technical training in Natural Resource Management to enable individuals to tackle their environment everyday and ensure their survival, sustenance and prosperity. The Eco-friendly Educational Project of UHR will also provide General Education in an environmental context to promote the overall aspects of daily life - Practical, Social, Moral, Aesthetic and Intellectual.
The ‘United Human Resource’ was registered in September 2002 under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860 with its registered office at Bhaskargiri, Kharghuli, Guwahati – 781 004, Assam, India.
BACKGROUND
In the Northeastern part of India most of the unemployed youths are frustrated and leading an uncertain life. Many of them are misguided, wrong directed and misused by the opportunist leaders. Some of them are suffering from psychological distress. In fact they have lost their faith in life due to no way of survival.
Hard work, Dedication, Sincerity, Commitment and a Never ending Zeal to Excel of Mr. Pranab Saikia and active cooperation of some socially responsible elderly people makes it possible to unite some groups of educated unemployed Youths and assemble them under the guidance of a team of experienced persons like retired Agriculture Scientists, Veterinary Professors, Human Doctors and Legal Experts etc. to find a solution of this inhuman situation in the lap of Mother Nature.
MISSION AND VISION OF UHR :
Our Mission is to educate the underprivileged youths for their sustainable development and arrange technical and financial support for their self-establishment enhancing their standards of living, general, physical and economical wellbeing. Our democratic struggle "Live and Let Live" will lead the Socioeconomic Revolution demanding the right to survival and right to development of the poor. We are determined to constitute the Eco-Friendly education system for general development of the people and environment. Our vision is of a world where the poor people can realize their full potential as a human being in a society. We are confident that Mother Nature will help us every way as the friend, philosopher, nurse and guide. We know that it is Nature where one can find peace, solace, harmony and tranquility.
THE ECO-FRIENDLY EDUCATIONAL PROJECT:
Real education is that, which enables one to stand on his own legs. The education that does not help the common mass to equip themselves for the struggle of life, which does not bring out strength of character, does not give the idea of sacrificing for the common wealth, cannot be education. We need that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which future can be secured.
Energy can not be created or destroyed. It can only be directed or diverted. Therefore, we must learn to control the general powers that are already in our hand, to make the whole world our own.
‘Economic development to be ‘Eco and environment friendly’. This is the simple rule of human development. The man has to tackle his environment everyday for his survival, sustenance and prosperity. One should know the trees how they are used for the fuel and energy, for the fruit and food. One has also to know which trees and crops can grow in one’s locality. It is the basic education of a human being to know about features of natural environment, which effects man’s food supply, health and recreation. This is the education, which is indeed very important for children and adults for self-fulfillment and social development. It helps in maintaining life and health, in self-preservation, and in the preservation of human race. Environmental knowledge directs attention towards problems of population explosion, exhaustion of natural resources and the pollution of environment and sheds light on the methods of solving these problems.
The new paradigm of this education system must identify and foster such skills, aptitudes and attitudes furnish both inspiration and the tools to create a more sustainable society.
These skills, aptitude and attitudes include: reconnecting the human with the nature, linking social issues with environmental ones, emphasizing the importance of values and promoting real-life experiences.
Human-Nature connection:
The Eco-friendly education system should strive to overcome the split of body and mind, man and nature. We support the growing recognition that education must fuse reason and emotion, knowledge and love, understanding and caring.
Interdisciplinary education:
The education today, should generate an interdisciplinary holistic approach to education in which science is embedded within cultural values, and social issues and environmental issues are linked.
Placed-based activism:
The education system should instill a sense of place – a deep understanding and caring for one’s local environment and community. It should foster responsibility, inspire and furnish tools for active citizenship, including coalition building, community action real-life learning about democracy.
Value education:
This education should give tools for critical thinking, reflection, analysis and evaluation of the value issues dilemmas that are at the root of environmental and social issues.
Such education should also encourage a critical look at our society and one’s personal lifestyle and its environmental implications.
Experiential education:
This education should supply relevant, real-life experiences and situations and “hands on” activities. Eco-education should promote experiences of wonder and inspiration that strengthen appreciation and kinship with the local environment.
The vision of such a paradigm of the Eco-friendly education system is to give birth to a generation that has a deep understanding of the total environment, the tools and values by which to evaluate this knowledge and finally, the empowerment and know how necessary in order to take positive action towards a more sustainable society.
In order to materialize this vision our proposed educational project will carry out Eco-friendly educational research, environmental scientific research, technology development for renewable energy resources, agricultural research, export policy making and market development, promotion of responsive Eco-tourism and information exchange on environmental cooperation etc. It will take the responsibilities of an International Institute for Human Resource Development, where people from various walks of lives can learn and educate others for the sake of nature and humanity. The entire project will be a practical laboratory for the trainees with high tech research facilities. This will be the center of social harmony, cultural resources and humanity healing. The project will provide free education, lodging and other basic necessities of life to the underprivileged youth and orphaned, destitute and disadvantaged children.
