Our Social Impact
Rationale
- Our considered view is that all human problems are due to incorrect & incomplete individual & collective human understanding.
- Hence, the long term, comprehensive solution to all human problems is the correction & completion in human understanding, via 'Education for Consciousness Development' in all humankind:
Public Awareness
- We have been conducting 'Public Awareness Programs' called Jeevan Vidya Shivir since 1995.
- About 2000 people attend these programs every year in various parts of India.
- As of 2022, more than 1 lac people have attended this free 7 day session and have benefitted from greater clarity in their living. They have encouraging results to share.
- About 1000 people are currently in deep-study of the Darshan/Philosophy
- This 'discovery' fundamentally alters our understanding of who we are as humans and what we do. Read more
- Facilitators do not 'charge' for the 'teaching'. This is not a source of our 'livelihood'.
School Education
- Started a new alternative school in Raipur based on this understanding.
- Included as supplementary course in Govt schools in Chattisgarh state in 2010
- Basis for 'Happiness Curriculum' in Delhi Govt schools. Text Books on Govt Site here.
Higher Education
- Human Values via Consciousness Development [HVCD] course included in Agricultural University State of Chattisgarh, India - 2010.
- Allied Human values courses* called 'a Foundational course in Human values and Professional Ethics' (HVPE) based on Jeevan Vidya are currently run as a foundational course in about 30+ universities in India in Punjab, Andhra Pradesh, UP, etc.
- All India Council of Technical Education [AICTE] has included the Human Values course based on Jeevan Vidya in their model suggested curriculum.
- Uttar Pradesh Technical University (AKTU) has included an Elective called 'Human Values in Madhyasth Darshan' in their Engineering Course.
- AICTE Model curriculum for minor Degree courses includes Human values in Madhyasth Darshan
