The Centre for Self-Discovery (CSD) is essentially a Think Tank space, which is completely off-grid with an in-house garden farming set-up where, a plethora of multi-faceted initiatives will be developed & operationalized, aimed at Sustainable Well-being through Mindful Consumption. There are three major components of CSD at the moment:
- Research and Development of experiential tools (games, workshops, courses etc.) on Mindful Consumption showcasing its crucial role in the journey of Sustainable Well-being at personal level and Social Impact at Community Level.
- Dissemination of the developed tools in schools, colleges and private & public sector offices in an engaging and sustainable manner.
- Campaigns, Yatras and Conferences aimed to shape a consortium of institutions (Academic, social, political, media houses etc.) that are willing to collaborate on the larger vision of Inner Transformation as a precursor to Sustainable Social Development.
