Vision Mission Philosophy

Formed with an objective to help citizens of developing countries live life completely, OASiS has always tried to look at development issues with a perspective different from existing practices.

Vision: “Every human being – a Socially Secured Citizen”.

Mission: “To organize systems and approaches that empowers every citizen towards a socio equitable and economically sustainable status”.

Focus Areas:

Identify gaps in the social sector, look at them with different perspectives, innovate solutions to address them, pilot and develop them as models and then give them out to the social sector for replication.

In 6 years (since 2003) OASiS has been able to bring out 5 Social Innovations as listed below:

  • A Social Security System for the Developing World that gives complete social security to masses without any taxes, expenditure cuts, insurance premiums or savings.
  • A high quality education model for economically and academically deprived children in urban slums, without any extra infrastructure or investment - THE MUSEUM SCHOOL.
  • Social Security rights for the Disabled - the first ever comprehensive Insurance System implemented by The National Trust (a Government of India body) for over 1 lakh economically weaker Mentally challenged in the country - NIRAMAYA.
  • Community based Group Livelihoods for the rural poor - SELF EMPLOYED GROUPS (SEG).
  • A unique Forest Village integrated development model.
  • A Social Credit System for mobilising Youth, Institutions and Corporate towards doing Social Good.


Philosophy: The philosophy behind the organisation is: The number of selfless people who wish good for the society, outnumber the people with selfish materialistic interests, many times. If such people are brought together and given a platform to express themselves, to benefit society selflessly, they can create a different face of their country. 

OASiS is trying to become such a platform and a Lab of Social Innovations in India, where people from all walks of life can bring in their wild ideas on social development, brainstorm and experiment the same and become social entrepreneurs.

Background:

Starting young in his life, an Information Technology professional wandered the corporate world for 15 years, with stints in Government, Private sector and Multinationals, as his job took him to around 12 countries in Asia and Europe. Searching for the eternal satisfaction that always eluded him, and disillusioned by the economic disparity and poverty in developing countries, he quit everything to return back to his hometown in central India. Taking his life on a different path and supported by his family, he set out on the road to remove the economic and social disparity among human beings.

Founding OASiS in 2003, he created a platform for all like-minded professionals who would like to take similar challenges and contribute all their knowledge and professionalism to turn the disparity into socio-economic equality.
Working on a wide domain of Social Security and with a national geographic reach, OASiS outlined the above focus areas and started experimenting models to address the gaps in the social sector of India.
