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.
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.
TRAVELER’S MISSION
In order to meet the required goal UHR has begun by establishing a
development program, the ‘Traveler’s Mission’, aimed at protecting
human rights and fostering responsible youth care and education in an

MISSION DETAILS
Northeast is the richest part of India with its natural resources. It
is the matter of great agony that the people of this land have no scope
to utilize their own resources to reduce their poverty. No initiatives
are taken in awakening the people to the key issues of sustainable
development, to look over the linkage between ecology and human
development and good management of their land, water and forest. The
entire region is neglected by the Indian regime since the British left.
The irrational use of natural resources, injustice and inhumanity
causing all round discontentment and misery of the people in the
region. Unless and until the young generation is educated to come
forward and root out these evils, the future of the land is bleak.
To do something for the underprivileged, it is significant to enter
deep into the people and know them in real.
In this program, ‘Traveler’s Mission’ welcomes you to the Northeast
India – a land of indigenous people with unique cultures and
breathtaking natural beauty and one of the selected and virgin
destinations of the world with tremendous scope for responsive

the natives, be a part of them and learn about their land, culture, way
of living, the prospects for their sustainable development etc.
