Nature-Human Centric approach should stand for scientific realism which studies and interprets natural phenomena in the light of scientific facts and social objects on the basis of authentic social information and data.
The Nature–Human Centric Peoples Movement (NHCPM) has emerged in response to a profound global crisis threatening both humanity and the natural world. Climate change, environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, widening inequality, social injustice, and persistent conflicts have exposed the limitations of prevailing development models.
For decades, dominant political and economic systems have prioritised short-term growth, profit maximisation, and power competition. While these approaches have delivered material expansion for some, they have also caused widespread ecological destruction, marginalisation of communities, and deep social fragmentation.
NHCPM is a voluntary, people-driven initiative committed to redefining development by placing human well-being and ecological balance at its core. Nature and humanity are not opposing forces but interdependent parts of a shared system that must be protected and sustained together.
Our mission is to promote an alternative development paradigm grounded in environmental responsibility, social equity, democratic participation, and peaceful cooperation. We seek to challenge exploitative structures and advocate long-term, inclusive solutions that ensure dignity, security, and sustainability for present and future generations.
The nature of our planet and the 21st century’s social reality of the inter-dependence of nation-states provide the nature-human centric paradigm the vision of One World, while the 1945- UN charter gives one the vision of sovereign and independent nations, a vision contrary to the existing reality.
The fundamental principle of the above-mentioned vision should, firstly, be to put the people and the environment at the centre of global activity (i.e., to serve the peoples interests, on the one hand, and to take care of the environmental conservation, on the other).
1. Nature-Human Centric model of human society holds environment and humankind as the two most precious phenomena in human society, considers the two as its social capital (supreme thing in human society) whose (i.e., environmental-human resources) growth brings development, prosperity and progress and maintains them as its guiding principle in thinking, saying, doing and organising.
2. It strongly advocates the fundamental task of environment (i.e., air, water, land, forests, biodiversity, etc.) promotion at all times and places.
3. It maintains the fundamental right of every human to bio-social existence, ensured through a network of social security with regard to clean air, pure drinking water, nutritious food, housing, clothing, free health facilities and education.
4. It stands for fundamental human right of fair equality, based on 1:5 income differences.
5. It firmly upholds the principle of world peace and steadfastly follows the path of peaceful resolution of all disputes in the world, particularly Jammu-Kashmir, Palestine and Sri Lanka, etc. In the case of a just solution to Jammu-Kashmir problem, it advocates that a joint Indo-Pak condominium be entrusted to handle its (Jammu-Kashmir’s) defence and foreign affair; in all other matters (except defence and foreign affair), Jammu-Kashmir should have independence, while each of its nine ethnic regions be given maximum possible autonomy. A similar type of just arrangement be worked out in case of Israel, Palestine and Jordan also.
6. It demands the restructuring of the world order by ending the veto powers to the five permanent members of the UN security council and by giving the absolute power of deciding any issue to the UN general assembly on the basis of simple majority vote. In due course, UN be restructured on the basis of a constitution framed by a constituent assembly elected by the people from various constituencies in the world.
7. It argues for the restructuring of WTO, WB and IMF on the basis of substituting their free market economic perspective by Nature-Human Centric perspective and their (i.e., WTO, WB and IMF) development strategy favouring money and money-owners by a Nature-Human Centric development strategy, comprising twp top priorities, i.e., human and environmental, and five principles. i.e., environmental promotion, fair equality, productivity, peoples-led democracy and allsided transparency.
8. It champions the women’s cause and demands their empowerment, ensuring them 50 percent representation in all social institutions at all levels.
9. It promotes the organising of agriculture on co-operative basis ensuring the livelihood security of all concerned.
10. It forcefully speaks for labour (both physical and mental) empowerment, ensuring workers one-third elected representation in the management of all institutions, projects and factories.
11. It pleads for the decentralisation of all industrial and services sectors by ending their corporate and state monopoly control and managing them through ordinary shareholders (with two-third representation) and workers (with one-third representation).
12. It proposes for a democratic management and control of finance. While the corporate sector upholds the monopoly corporate management and control and the state sector supports the monopoly bureaucratic management and control the Nature-Human Centric Development model stands for democratic management and control of public companies by elected joint committees, each comprising two-third elected members from ordinary share-holders and one-third elected workers representatives in place of permanent corporators. All promoters’ shares purchased at cheaper rates (than the market rates) and owned by the corporate management be ended.
13. It encourages the spending of all development funds through elected peoples development committees (including the gram sabhas and not above that), abrogating the current rule of allotting Rs. 2 crores to each MP and lakhs of rupees to each MLA for development spending in their constituencies.
14. It proposes the restructuring of corporate capitalist oriented constitution and jurisprudence in each country on the basis of Nature-Human Centric outlook.
15. It strongly favours the fundamental principle of safeguarding and protecting the interests of environmental and human resources. Any disregard of the foregoing principle to be dealt with the aim of reforming the offender, while prescribing punishment according to the severity of the offence. Punishment may include all humane forms that have existed in history except the sentence to death and human cruelty.
16. It firmly believes that all the constituent processes of human society, i.e., environmental, human and scientific-technological should be controlled and conducted by the people.
17. It propounds the empowerment of people (or people-led governance) at five level from the village/ward to national level with powers to manage the three basic facets of social life—political economic and cultural.
18. The process of empowerment be decided through the method of election, which will be entirely free where everyone has the right to participate as a candidate and to express his opinion as a voter. It urges for ending the state power monopoly of the corrupt and money and power-hungry political parties by introducing the rules of the state funding of elections of each individual candidate (who is required to produce 1,000 signatures of his electors in state assembly and 5,000 in central assembly elections), without any consideration to his party affiliation. Concerned voters right to recall any assembly member if one-fifth of voters demand in writing a repoll on the ground that the afore-mentioned member has lost the confidence of his electorate.
19. Political aspect demands the establishment of Political Assembly at five levels: (i.e., national, state or regional, district, block and gram) which stands for a democratic order and is based on fully democratic principles, functioning and structure. Such a model necessitates the introducing of the principles of the maximum possible empowerment of the people in decision-making.
20. Economic aspect needs the establishment of development assembly at five levels for a rational and realistic economics whose concepts, laws and rules are required to be framed in the light of former’s two top priorities (i.e., humankind and environment) and five principles (i.e., environmental promotion, fair equality, productivity, peoples-led democracy and all sided transparency). In view of human’s bio-social nature, both Adam Smith’s basic economic principle of “self-interest” and Marxian basic economic principle of state nationalisation of everything are one-sided. But, ironically, both measure development, prosperity and progress in terms of monetary growth and not in the context of human and environmental development.
21. Cultural aspect requires establishment of cultural assembly at five levels that calls for way of life (or life-style) that is embedded in basic human and environmental value and promotes rational humanist and environmentalist thinking, behaviour and organisation among the people
22. The political, development and cultural Assemblies at five levels elect their respective political, development and cultural commissions of specialists to implement the agendas and policies framed by them (i.e., Assemblies). The commission of political specialists may deal with political issues like law and order, crime prevention, judicial working; the commission of development specialists may handle economic, financial matters like development planning, agriculture, industry, services, finances and budget; and the commission of cultural specialists attend to education, health, moral-ethical values and other cultural subjects like languages, music, dancing, cine industry, etc
23. Every elected body whether at the lower or the higher level will be sovereign within its respective domain. If at any time there is a difference of opinion between the two elected bodies or public institutions the concerned units’ will appoint their respective representative groups to settle the concerned question through talks. If the matter is mutually settled, that will be accepted as a valid decision. In case the two cannot agree on a common decision, the matter will be got resolved through a referendum of the concerned people.
24. It maintains that the question of internal security of any territorial unit will be handled by the people concerned. The issue of border defence of different territorial units will be conducted by the defence agency formed by the concerned people according to the rules approved by the UN.
25. It will forbid every polluting technology, however productive capacity it may have, to operate in society.
