Development Paradigm
Collective Individuals can make a difference
The development paradigm of THREAD-ONS has firm foundations in its original approach to self-exploratory experiential training and THREAD's conviction in the collective awareness of each individual — 'change is possible and it starts ‘here and now’ which journeys into the wider world — making a difference. Unique to THREAD's training is the integration of principles of Vipasana meditation — its emphasis on complete well-being through positive techniques in strengthening inter-personal relationships and social fabric of society. For THREAD, 'self-exploratory experiential praxis' is both an approach and methodology. The emergence of 53 tribal women's organisation and the state level movement called Orissa Nari Samaj itself is a testimony to the robust principles of this approach.
