RHM CENTER, WAYANAD, KERALA, INDIA


CENTER FOR SUSTAINABLE RURAL DEVELOPMENT

At the heart of the TGG Foundation’s mission lies an unwavering dedication to the pursuit of sustainable rural development. We believe in empowering individuals from diverse backgrounds, nurturing creativity, and inspiring a sense of responsible global citizenship. Our commitment to fostering harmonious coexistence between people, nature, and culture is unwavering. Today, we’re excited to shine a spotlight on some of our major activities that will receive a significant boost with the development of the RHM (Responsible Human Mission) Center.

  1. Bridging the Gap – Empowering the Next Generation : Our “Bridging the Gap” program is designed to bridge generations and cultivate the spirit of volunteerism among undergraduate students aged 20 to 24. Through hands-on experiences, we aim to instill a sense of responsibility towards rural development and sustainability.
  2. Research and Creative Center – Fostering Innovation: The RHM Center will house a state-of-the-art Research and Creative Center. This facility will welcome research students passionate about Responsible Tourism and provide a platform for creative individuals to engage in design thinking and implementation, contributing to our sustainable rural development goals.
  3. Experiential Learning Program – Nurturing Non-Academic Skills : Our Experiential Learning Program offers non-conventional learning experiences, tapping into the rich traditional knowledge, skills of artisans and nature learning. However, we face challenges due to the lack of proper facilities. The RHM Center will provide a conducive environment for all stake holders.
  4. Coordination Center – A Hub of Activity : At the heart of the RHM Center, a Coordination Center will serve as the nerve center of our operations. It will include office & meeting room, a dining space and a kitchen to facilitate seamless coordination of all our activities.
  5. Home Away from Home – Welcoming Visitors: Accommodation is vital for the smooth functioning of our foundation. The RHM Center will offer comfortable lodging for our faculties, members, NCRH (Nomad Community of Responsible Humans), and partner organization members who visit us to engage in various activities aimed at achieving our sustainable rural development goals.

Our Progress So Far: We are excited to announce that the TGG Foundation has already acquired nearly 13,000 sq ft of land in Wayanad for the development of our first RHM Center.

Fundraising Priorities: Our top priority is to ensure access to clean drinking water and water for construction purposes. To achieve this, we’ve already have Rs. 1 lakh and require an additional Rs. 2 lakhs to complete this primary work before we start the construction..

Additional Funds Raised for a Brighter Future: The total estimated cost of the RHM Center project is approximately Rs. 5 crores. Beyond completing the well work, all additional funds raised will be allocated towards land development, constructing volunteer accommodations, the Creative Center, the Coordination Center, and creating a welcoming “Home Away from Home.”

We invite you to join us on this inspiring journey towards sustainable rural development. Your support will make a significant difference in realizing our mission and creating a brighter future for rural communities. Together, we can build a harmonious world where people, nature, and culture thrive in unity.

BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE

Since our inception in 2014, our journey has made significant progress in establishing exemplary projects and initiatives. These endeavors are designed to enrich people’s experiences, foster a connection with the natural world, promote compassionate thinking, and encourage collective action devoid of selfish motives. In a society often characterized by competitiveness and exploitation, our path has felt akin to swimming against the prevailing current.

By dedicating all our actions to the creator, we imbue them with a transformative quality, as we are guided by divine energy. As our mission expands to reach more individuals and build a global community of responsible humans, the imperative to create additional infrastructure becomes evident. This expansion cannot be realised within the confines of rented premises. Therefore, the foundation has acquired land to develop facilities that will play a pivotal role in achieving our objectives.

Currently, we operate from leased facility, which results in high operational expenses. Our primary objective is to offer complimentary dorms to students, inspiring them to explore travel and engage in volunteer activities after completing high school. This experience aims to provide them with a more profound understanding of human life and cultivate a sense of gratitude as they embark on their life journey.

In addition, our members, associates, and faculty require lodging when they visit us for various community development projects, research, and training. During non occupancy period it can also be used as accommodation for tourist thus creating a revenue stream for the maintenance and upkeep of the place, livelihood and to manage its administrative costs. To address these needs, we are prioritizing the development of RHM Center. Creating a revenue stream will also reduce our dependency on donations. Once the land development is complete, first priority is given to develop dormitory facility to accommodate a minimum of 25 students and two faculty members simultaneously at the RHM Center. Rest of the project will be developed based on the availability of funds.
