The basic premise of Vikas is “One has to uplift oneself”. Since everything is created twice, we advocate the policy of Clean-inside-Clear-outside. Our interventions focus on treating the root – The Person, because only an OK-Person can perform effectively at Home, Organisation, and Society on a Win-Win note.
Participants undertake an inward journey to understand their potentials, belief systems, and parental injunctions—learning to overcome dysfunctional beliefs.
To help people from different walks of life lead a Winner’s life by realising their true potential and thereby creating a more humane, enlightened, and prosperous society.
To bring the latest development and accumulated wisdom to enhance individual effectiveness through facilitating learning of multi-disciplinary competencies and life skills.
The philosophy is grounded in the idea that everything is created twice — first within, then outside. Training interventions follow the principle of “Clean Inside – Clear Outside.”
