It is important to understand humanity for which to understand life values also is equally important.
HSSF has defined these life values in six basic themes :
- Preserve Forests and Protect wild life
- Conserve Ecology;
- Sustainable environmental protection;
- Inculcate Human & Family values;
- Foster Women Respect
- Conserve Ecology;
- Sustainable environmental protection;
- Inculcate Human & Family values;

IMCTF was founded on the Isavasya Upanishad first verse –―
Isawasyam idam sarvam, yat kinchit jagatyaam jagat|
Tena tyaktena bhunjita maa grudha kasya swid dhanam||―
Mahatma Gandhi explained the meaning as ‘Everything animate or inanimate is the manifestation of the Divine creation’
Sustainable Environment: Living in harmony with Nature has been an integral and unique part of our Bharatiya culture and tradition. This has been abundantly reflected in a variety of traditional practices, religious beliefs, rituals, folklore, arts&crafts, and in the daily lives of the Bharatiya people from time immemorial. Many ancient cultures tell us how communities lived in harmony with nature, with a tradition of reverence for the elements that constitute ecosystem‘s, drawing their sustenance from natural resources and at the same time protecting the environment that sustains them. Conservation of nature and natural resources has been a much challenging task in the present state of affairs where economy prevails over ecology and increases our social responsibility.
