INTRODUCTION

HUMAN WAVE (HW) is a Non-Govern-mental, Non-Profit making, Apolitical, Secular, Voluntary Organisation committed to promote the standard and the quality of life of the disadvantaged and marginalised people of the society.

It started working informally in 1996 and was officially registered on 3rd November 98 under West Bengal Society Registration Act 1961.

 

GENESIS OF THE ORGANISATION

 

 

It is not mere poverty but lack of self-respect, lack of trust in themselves, lack of concern about positive values that are leading them into a tumultuous daily life, wasting their valuable time. The parents don’t care and so the childhood is wasted partly because of economic hardship and socio-cultural drawback. The dirt and diseases, illiterate adults, tortured women coupled with alcoholism and poverty are causing a server inhuman condition. The fast deteriorating moral values is directing the situation towards a darker future.

 

This realization dictated Human Wave to take up the causes of this disadvantaged and marginalized community to alter their situation by providing knowledge input and value base, generating skill and hope in the community for a better future.

 

VISION OF THE ORGANISATION

HUMAN  WAVE aspires for an alternative societal order that is just sustainable, peaceful, pluralistic and participatory. A society which is free from exploitation, discrimination and fear, with equality in home and in community where persons and community have power to control their own lives in complementary inter-relationship with others and in congenial inter-dependence.

Mr. Tapas K. Sur

Director Human Wave.

 

The concept of forming the Organisation was basically conceived by Mr. Tapas Sur, who has been attached to Service Civil International India (an international peace forum) since 1980 and has worked as Administrator of IIMC for five years. Mr. Sur came in close contact with the people of “Adarshanagore” (Project Area) and observed that not the economic scarcity alone but the socio-cultural setback of the people is the root cause of the miseries of their lives.
