Some of the most important activities on the anvil are enumerated below:

Preservation of Heritage
The Foundation works primarily for the preservation of the anthropologic, artistic, architectural, cultural, religious, linguistic, ritualistic, theatrical and other sites and symbols, marks and materials, songs and performances, stories and narrations, artefacts and handicrafts related to the archaeology, traditions, conventions and heritage of ethnic peoples worldwide.

Promotion of Heritage
It gives multimedia coverage and promotes such sites and materials with the purpose of preserving, protecting and publicising them nationally and internationally for the historical record-keeping purposes and for the greater understanding and appreciation of the same beyond all borders in time and space.

Promotion of cultural identities
It promotes multimedia coverage and publication of folk arts, folk theatre, fairs and festivals, rites and rituals, lyrical and narrative renderings by untrained rural senior citizens and tribal people, costumes and ornaments, food and beverages, games and pastimes, dialects, slang and other vernacular variations, witticism, quips and anecdotes, etc. as part and parcel of the heritage of each tribe, community and nationality.

Supports to Artisans
It gives media coverage, publicising, marketing assistance, moral and financial support to the rural and tribal artists, artisans and traditional technicians engaged in the production of traditional paintings, murals, sculptures, toys, handicrafts, carvings, hand-woven cloth, hand-painted cloth, traditional carts, kitchen utensils, agricultural implements, etc. and those engaged by khadi and village industries units.

Linking the targeted
It links artists, artisans, craftsmen, tourism agencies, tourism facilities, organisations, etc. with the intent of protecting and promoting heritage sites and materials, traditional and ethnic arts and crafts, traditional holistic health and wellness theories and practices, nature-based tourism initiatives, health and hygiene awareness, women empowerment, child rights and child protection, involvement in anti-corruption and good governance activities, actions for environmental protection and sustainable development, preparing the community to meet the challenges of globalisation and consumerism, etc

Indigenous Tribes
The Foundation implements projects that will protect the aboriginal people, their traditional means of livelihood, their way of life and customs, etc. so that their self-respect and ethnic identity are not lost.  Eco-tourism must be controlled so that the tourist inflow does not have a damaging effect on their traditional way of life.  All development work in the tribal area and all infrastructure improvement must be subject to the likes and dislikes of the tribal people and not thrust upon them against their wishes.  Even the awareness programmes on health and hygiene are conducted without questioning their self-respect and traditional habits.

Supports to Tribal Craftsmen
Tribal craftsmen are organised Self Help Groups and their methods of production and marketing are streamlined.  Innovations in products and new techniques of workflow are introduced through training camps without changing the basic nature of the traditional artefacts.

Promotion of alternative medicines
The Foundation prepares and publicises multimedia programmes and documentary presentations of the traditional herbal remedies in relation to the diseases which can be cured by them, the methods of cultivation, harvesting, processing and marketing of the produces and products and other relevant topics that encourage the usage of wholesome and other alternative treatments and medications in place of allopathic medicines.  The standardisation and quality enhancement of the alternative and natural remedies and the improvements necessary in their marketing strategies have to be considered and all initiatives in these directions are encouraged.

Promotion of good traditions
It produces and propagates edutainment programmes that encourage the present generation to follow the healthy traditions of our forefathers, like eating more fruits and vegetables, breast feeding, using herbal remedies for minor ailments and respecting and obeying parents, teachers, elders and superiors.

Health and Hygiene
Campaigns using multimedia and other aids for public awareness regarding the need for healthy and hygienic practices in all areas of social life, society’s responsibility for the health and education of all children and health and welfare of all senior citizens and physically challenged persons in the society, etc. and direct interventions to make public places hygienic and to lessen the levels of industrial pollution are engaged in.

HIV/AIDS
Production and publication of awareness programmes on HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted or behaviour-related diseases with the purpose of weaning the youth away from the causes of the spread of these diseases and to make them guard against the circumstances that lead to such causes are given importance.
.  
Social Evils
The Foundation fights all social evils like caste distinctions, communalism, religious fundamentalism, terrorism, child abuse, child labour, exploitation of women, over-exploitation of natural resources, corruption and nepotism in public offices, damaging and pilfering of public property, unbridled obscenity and glorification of violence in films, advertisements and communication channels, food adulteration, false propaganda in advertisements of consumer articles, industrial pollution, over-exploitation of low-paid labourers, hindering normal life for political/communal gains (strikes, hartals, huge demonstrations),  etc. through multimedia campaigns and direct interventions.

Environmental Issues
The management of industrial effluents by existing industrial units is one of the most discarded subjects, especially in the developing countries.   People, animals and plants around a badly managed industrial unit suffer the consequences. Propaganda, education and awareness campaigns to make the people use their collective strength to solve such environmental problems are the thrust areas of the Foundation.  Efforts are also be made to force the authorities to take punitive and corrective measures.

Environmental Protection
Deforestation, soil erosion, untreated industrial effluents, accumulation of plastic waste materials and all forms of atmospheric pollution will destroy the environmental equilibrium. The Foundation considers educative and active involvement in environmental protection a vital necessity of our times. Besides practising environmentally safe methods in all its activities, it stands in the forefront of popular action to safeguard the environment.

Natural/Geographical Restoration
Endemic natural eco-systems that have evolved through millions of years have been on the brink of being eternally lost due to human developmental activities. The Foundation takes up the restoration of such eco-systems as the most immediate project of vital importance. The first step is to stop all activities that will harm the fragile ecology. A thorough study is undertaken and concrete steps taken to restore the botanical and zoological specimens that have been removed.

Protection of Genetic-Resources
Genetic resources have been depleted due to the uncontrolled encroachment of man on the environment. The interdependence of insect and plant world requires that one must exist for the other to continue existing. Restoration of botanical species and dependent insect species go a long way in protecting the precious genetic resources that are unique and endemic in nature. A dedicated team of experts are employed for this purpose.

Germplasm Resources Centre
The botanical and zoological species that are on the brink of extinction are studied and their germplasm or genes preserved for future regeneration in case of extinction. Scientific personnel, instruments and equipments are made available for this highly sophisticated task.

Management of Environmental Disorder
Any environmental disorder that has already taken place must be corrected as soon as possible and as much as possible. The services of experts and scientific personnel are used together with the cooperation of voluntary individuals and organisations for this purpose.

Utilisation of Natural Resources for Non Conventional Energy
Efforts are made to study and teach the possibilities of producing energy using the natural resources through non-conventional methods. Micro Hydro electric projects, wind mills, solar collectors, wave energy equipments and such other non-conventional energy sources are tapped using the latest know-how available.

Global Warming
People are educated to control the use of CFC and such other emissions that damage the ozone layer and speed up global warming. Research is made to find alternative and cheap methods of refrigeration and air-conditioning. Latest information on developments taking place in this direction are collected and communicated to the like minded individuals, institutions and organisations.

Waste Land Development
Large tracts of waste land can be developed by planting vegetation that grow in arid areas and require very little water. Prolonged cultivation of such plants will gradually turn the dry waste lands into permanent green belts and the same will grow in area year by year extending to more and more desert like places. 

Pollution Treatment
Industrial pollution is the bane of development. Awareness campaigns among the general public and training programmes for the youth are conducted focusing on the issues and solutions. Special training programmes are arranged for the employees of the pollution-intense industries on the ways of controlling their pollution by treating the emissions and effluents scientifically.

Eco-tourism
The Foundation produces and distributes multimedia materials encouraging and helping genuine eco-tourism by internal and international tourists, with the purpose of observation of nature or experiencing the union with nature.  Tourism agencies and organizations are made aware of the benefits of eco-tourism.

Eco-friendly and Organic Products
The Foundation produces and encourages production of eco-friendly products like bags, mugs and plates made of recycled waste paper and/or cloth materials and organic products like bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides

Environmental Justice
As the local population is the part of the local environment, any profitable exploitation of the resources of that environment will have to be justly and equably distributed among the population. Only that amount of exploitation which will not damage the environment should be allowed in the long term interests of all segments of the environment. The Foundation keeps a vigilant watch over the potential overexploitation of any resource and educates the people on the danger thereof. 

Nature Study Presentations
The Foundation makes multimedia presentations of the life cycles of the butterflies and other insects, behavioural peculiarities of spiders and fireflies, real-life documentations of wild life and migratory birds, documentations of rare and endemic flora, fauna, avifauna and fishes and such other edutainment materials with the purpose of helping in the preservation of nature and environment, especially the endemic and endangered species.

Wild Life Sanctuaries
The Foundation conducts exhaustive multimedia coverage of wildlife sanctuaries, all over the world, with the purpose of making people realize the unfathomable value and beauty of pristine nature, the important role of the forests in the climatic patterns, the crucial importance of preserving the remaining flora and fauna and such other relevant and related matters of eco-sensitivity.

Endangered Species
Protection of the endemic and endangered species of flora, fauna and avifauna is one of the most cherished objectives of the Foundation.  Multimedia documentaries and printed materials are produced and distributed to make the general public aware of the importance of this mission.  Erudite and detailed studies are commissioned or conducted to identify the habitats of the last remaining members of each endangered species and every possible method of increasing their numbers will be implemented.  The students, nature lovers, forest authorities and other concerned segments of the society will be made to collaborate with these initiatives.

Habitat Protection
The Foundation does everything for the protection of the natural and traditional habitats of people, animals and plants, which are under threat from any human initiative, be it developmental or otherwise, invoking support from the general public and concerned authorities.  Both awareness programmes for the general public and organizational initiatives for the segments of the public that can actively collaborate in the initiatives are made with the aim of protecting the habitats at any cost.  Like-minded agencies and organizations are taken into confidence and organized, if need be, for a united stand against threats of habitat-destruction from any quarters, however powerful the usurpers be.

Study Projects
The Foundation implements projects for studying the environmental riches of the earth, including the natural resources of water, metals and minerals, various life forms that live in the wild, life forms that live among the humans, rare species of all kinds that are on the verge of extinction or are being dramatically reduced in numbers due to environmental hazards, medicinal properties of herbs that have been proven or are yet to be proved from the traditional treasury of knowledge of the rural folk, simple techniques of keeping healthy and simple remedies applied from time immemorial  for common ailments, etc., etc.

Education Activities
Education activities are focused on the students, youth, women and farmers. These sections are given formal and non formal education in environment protection, pollution control, health and hygiene, eco-friendly farming methods, management of bio-wastes, production of bio-fertilizers, production and management of bio-energy, formation of self help groups and farmers consortiums, energy conservation and use of non-conventional energy sources, waste land management, value adding methods in agriculture, tissue culture in farming, water management and conservation, soil restoration methods, eco-protection, group farming, eco tourism, organic farming, farmers empowerment, sustainable agriculture, information and integrated technologies and such other matters that may be relevant from time to time.

Educational Institutions
Educational Institutions which focus its activities around the objectives enumerated above are established and managed by The Foundation in as many locations and covering as many subjects as may be found necessary from time to time. The personnel in such institutions are appointed , subject to the directives of the State and Central Governments regarding the qualifications, recruitment modes and service conditions. All funds from Government or otherwise are routed through the Foundation or its authorised agents. Such institutions are allowed to start franchise-institutions with the concurrence and approval of the Foundation.

Edutainment of students
The Foundation engages in edutainment of schools and colleges to make them aware of healthy behavioural patterns, hygienic practices, environmental hazards, global warming, climatic changes, participatory politics, good governance, rights and duties of good citizens, dangers of tobacco, drugs and alcohol, advantages of natural fruit juices over carbonated soft drinks and home-made wholesome meals over fast food, methods of memorizing lessons and facing examinations and such other relevant matters
.
Multi-media developments and Publications
As education, training and edutainment are the principal concerns of the Foundation, development of multimedia software or programmes and publication of materials through print and electronic media are the main instruments of such activities. Social enlightenment and uplift are the immediate objects of all such media efforts. Multimedia presentation/distribution/publication of all the above via electronic, print or other media including pamphlets, catalogues and brochures on the above themes are taken up.

Magazines and Pamphlets
Editing, printing and publishing a magazine and pamphlets in English and/or any other language with the accent on the above themes and events and related topics are among the priority programmes of the Foundation.

Symposia and Workshops
The Foundation convenes/conducts symposia, training camps and workshops relating to protection and promotion of heritage and culture of India, environmental protection, sustainable development, eco-tourism, women empowerment, child labour, migrant labour, nature studies, global warming, globalisation, consumerism, herbal remedies, traditional holistic healing methods, good governance, anti-corruption interventions, safeguards against food adulteration and industrial pollution, community health and hygiene, etc.

Against Over-consumerism
The Foundation engages in campaigns using multimedia presentations and programmes against the rising trend of over-consumerism on the part of the middle and lower middle class segments of the population and over-profiteering on the part of the retailers who take undue advantage of the consumerist tendencies of the gullible public.

Participatory Democracy
The Foundation produces and publishes multimedia presentations/programmes encouraging greater participation of all sections of the population in all legislative and administrative processes of the Government as participatory democracy is the foundation of good governance in a modern parliamentary democracy.

World Destinations
The Foundation engages in multimedia coverage and publicizing of all tourist destinations of the world to encourage people to travel more for better understanding of other peoples, places, cultures and life-styles so that mankind may unite into a single family with the benign motto of ‘Live and let live’ for ‘Loka samastha sukhino bhavantu’ (the whole world to be well/happy).

Sustainable Agriculture
Intensive chemical manures and pesticides used excessively in modern agricultural methods will exhaust the nutritional intake of the plants and ultimately are detrimental to agriculture itself.  Sustainable agricultural practises using eco-friendly natural resources are beneficial to the soil and profitable in the long run. The Foundation strictly follows the guidelines for the maintenance and protection of the natural eco-system while teaching farmers to make the most out of organic practices in agriculture.

Traditional Practice and Modern Technology
The time proven agricultural practices traditionally followed by the native farming community must be continued regarding the methods of preparing the soil, sowing the seeds, weeding, etc. At the same time modern technology is fully utilised in areas where it will benefit the harvest without badly affecting the quality of the product and the employment opportunity of the labourers.

Amalgamation of Technologies
While making use of innovative and alternative sources of energy and technologies, the traditional and current energy sources and technologies are not discarded. The amalgamation of new technologies is a gradual developmental process, replacing the traditional technologies without destabilising the whole machinery that will pave the way to a higher level of eco-friendly and sustainable utilization of technologies. The technologies are wedded to the needs of the times and not for replacing human resources. The technologies used for value adding processes must be quality-enhancing and consumer friendly

Using Satellite Technology
Several satellites are orbiting the earth and gathering vital information on climatic changes and allied matters. The Foundation taps this source for the advance programming of all the farming activities. Right from the selection of the seeds to be sown and the time for the preparation of the seed beds, the information received from the satellites can guide the farmer in every step. The Foundation considers it important to assimilate the latest information and make use of it.

Eco-Technology
Each technological breakthrough is weighed in the balance of eco-friendliness and the technology that is not eco-friendly is discarded. The Foundation does not utilise any technology that does not conform to the strict norms of environmental stability.

Seed Bank and Protection
With the international seed companies distributing terminator seeds, the seed store of the traditional farmer has been endangered. The Foundation intervenes to protect the traditional seeds without modern mutations so that they may be available to the future generations.

Observatories
One or more observatory are to be set up to be of help in the study the climatic changes, the rainfall and wind velocity, the duration of sunlit hours and the intensity of the sunlight, etc. The information collected is analysed by a team of experts and conclusions arrived at regarding the farming strategy to be implemented. The data are made available to other interested individuals, institutions and organizations and discussed for fruitful interaction.

Laboratories
Laboratories for testing the soil samples and for gauging the nutritional and other qualities of edible products, for treatment against plant and animal diseases and for quality test of exportable produces are set up. These laboratories are made available to the small farmers and small scale industrialists who do not have their own such facilities.

Documentation & Libraries
All the researches, experiments, training classes and farming activities are well documented and kept for future references in a well maintained library. The library will be stocked with books on farming methods, environmental issues, non-formal education, entrepreneurship, cooperative movement, community health and hygiene, etc. All the records and books will be made available to the genuine students and researchers at a nominal fee.

Training Facilities
Well furnished class rooms and halls with all the latest audio visual teaching equipments are a part and parcel of every training unit. Batches of women, youth and farmers are given training in eco-friendly farming methods, vigilance against environmental hazards, career oriented courses, formation of Self Help Groups, sanitation and health programmes and participation in electoral process.

Empowerment of Farmers
Education is the instrument of empowerment. Facilities for education and training in eco-friendly farming methods and modern technological advancements are provided throughout the year to empower the farmers and make them economically self reliant. Such self reliance certainly makes them more socially elevated.  Multimedia materials are prepared and distributed to increase awareness among the farming community.

Organic Farming and certification
Farmers are trained and educated through multimedia campaigns to realize that chemical fertilizers and pesticides in large quantities will ruin their harvest, their health and their finances in the long run. Sagacious change over to organic farming methods does not result in decrease of the quantity produced and  fetches even a higher price for the same quantity produced. The organic way of farming, harvesting, storing, transporting, processing and marketing of the agricultural produces presupposes the complete avoidance of chemical products. For this, the Organisation educates and trains the farmers on the effective methods of production and utilisation of bio-fertilizers, bio-pesticides and bio-fungicides. The earth worms and insectivorous insects will be widely used for soil nourishment and pest control.  The world is getting more aware of the value of organic farm products and farmers are trained to make use of this spreading awareness.  The Foundation helps the farmers to change over to organic farming and get necessary certification for marketing.

Bio-Dynamic Farming
Wherever the soil has been eroded of its fertility, the soil is re-fertilized. Natural manure sources such as cow dung, cow horn manure, vermi-compost and such other fertilizing materials are used for this. Leaving the land fallow for a season and treatment with natural manure makes the soil once again rich in all elements of fertility. The Foundation takes up such lands and restores them to acceptable fertility standards.

Experimental & Demonstration Areas
Specially ear marked areas are allotted for experimental farming methods and for demonstration of the success of such methods. The farming community is invited to participate and study in the experiments in the field. Seeds and saplings are distributed at nominal cost to the farmers so that they will be benefited by these experiments. The services of agricultural experts are made use of in such activities.

Water Management
The whole world is gripped by a fear of imminent scarcity of desalinated drinking and irrigation water. So water management is of utmost importance. Training in harvesting of rainwater and collection of rainwater in land tracts situated on upper slopes by digging trenches and building walls is imparted to all concerned. The Foundation gives such training through multimedia campaigns and helps in building and maintaining water conservation systems. Multiple usage of the same water is also encouraged to help in the conservation of water..

Economic Strategies
Each unit is self reliant and self sustaining in all respects. The produces are sold and the wastages are utilized for other farming activities. The energy needs are met through bio-energy systems. The fluctuations in the market are countered through impeccable storage methods. The training and educational activities are financed on a shared basis, meeting half the expense from the profits and the other half as fees from the beneficiaries. The value adding processes enhances the price of the produces reaping profits to be used for the welfare activities of the organisation.

Involvement in Food Security
The production of food on our earth is not increasing at the rate of growth of population and the subsequent rise in demand for the same. So the food security of the future generations has to be taken care of when planning agricultural operations. Increasing yield and shortening the duration of growth are the factors considered. All the latest technological progress are fully exploited to increase yield without lowering quality and to increase the area under cultivation.

Group Farming
The Foundation encourages group farming through multimedia as it reduces expenses and effort involved in each farming activity and gives the farmers a sense of unity and team work. It also lightens the burden of marketing the produces, especially the mass transportation of a large quantity. Irrigation, manure-application, weeding, etc., are more effective and better organised if done on a large scale by a group of farmers.

Waste Management
All the waste materials that cannot be utilised for consumption by other segments in the same unit or for the generation of bio-energy are recycled as bio-fertilizer. Training on waste management is given to farmers and youth and practical demonstrations given to them within the farm itself. Any waste, like plastic materials, that cannot be recycled is scientifically incinerated.

Farm Tourism
Organic farms and eco-friendly farming methods without discontinuing the traditional farming systems are attractive destinations to the eco-tourist. The tourist will bring in revenue not only by his visit but also by way of purchases of produces as the produces will be organic. As eco-tourism is gaining in popularity there is much scope for benefiting out of this trend by laying out organic farms with the bare minimum of infrastructure.

Help in Natural Calamities
When natural calamities strike, the bewildered affected people will be seeking immediate help from all sources.  The Foundation will use all its available machinery and provisions to alleviate the sufferings of the neediest people on a war footing. The rehabilitation work will be taken up with the assistance of benefactors, as soon as the emergency relief work comes to an end. The organisation will co-operate with like-minded individuals, institutions and other organizations to see that the help reaches where, when and how it is needed most.

Communication Methods
The methods of communication that the Foundation  utilises includes all forms of print media like books, magazines, bit notices, pull-outs, brochures, pamphlets, catalogues, bulletins, newsletters, posters, banners and hoardings and  electronic media like telecommunication, internet, film, television, radio, CD Rom and any other instrument or medium that will be available in future, besides traditional communication through speeches, songs and  slogans in direct actions of intervention with mass support.

Collaborations and Support
Support is sought from and given to all like-minded national/ international agencies and organisations provided their actions do not go against the declared objectives and ideals of the Foundation, like UNEP, UNESCO, UNICEF, GEF, WWF, World Bank, ADB, UNHABITAT, etc.  Any other organization or agency that comes forward to give any assistance, financial, technical, advisory or otherwise, in the above-mentioned projects and initiatives of the Foundation is supported by the Foundation.  In global issues, like finding a solution for global warming, or making efforts to reduce the bad effects of climatic aberrations, the Foundation plays collaborative roles in initiatives taken by other like-minded organizations.

Awards and Recognitions
