It also involves participation of all the stakeholders concerned for the formulation of above parading.
                The final mission is to evolve suitable strategies that would ensure good standard of living for all, social and economic justice for all, gender equity, equitable sharing of natural resources and good human environment for sustainable development.
  •             FOSEP has a far - fetched vision to fulfill, a vision to construct a mountain environment where there would be no conflict between human ambition and natural processes of evolution of life and eco-systems.
                There is scope for building up a highly inspiring model environment which would be worth living not only for human beings but which would also foster all forms of life.
  •             The FOSEP is a non-profit organization and works through a strong Governing Body which formulates its policies, plan and programmes and evaluates its performance for each project that has been completed. The feedback from beneficiaries and the criticisms and suggestions from its members form the basis of changes that are required to be introduced in future programmes.
                The credibility that it has earned from the public is because of the accountability and transparency which constitutes its core working philosophy. Despite being hamstrung by certain limitations, FOSEP is proud that it has successfully completed the following projects since its inception.
