''' It is perhaps easy to write an imaginative fiction about logical refugee. But it is actually tough to think realistically and do something substantial for fundamental refugee. The fiction might be received with brilliant reviews by media and the intellectuals. But, ‘work is always better then intellectual exercise’, as has been asserted by Chānakya. So, if one has ever put in some thoughts about the people of Bangladesh; or realizes how a great number of them are becoming refugees every day, he/she would end up with nothing else but Goethe’s phrase: ‘work, work & work’ for them.

Comprehending this, Udbastu Foundation has begun to work. It has been working diligently for the last three years in three different districts of Bangladesh. Like John F. Kennedy we too realize that, ‘Our problems are man-made, therefore they could be solved by men. No problem regarding human destiny is beyond the scope of human beings.’                                                                                                       Vision

A healthy environment friendly society for Bangladesh, through focused stewardship; long term nurturing of the rural environment, including culture, agriculture, history & heritage.

Udbastu Foundation would be at the forefront of this movement empowering communities with innovative programs, through volunteers and partners, to achieve a better quality of life for the present and future generations.

Mission

Udbastu Foundation works with the aim empower communities; to motivate, cultivate and conserve their green & glorious infrastructure, for sustaining the healthy rural culture, agriculture, history & heritage.

Objectives

To improve environmental quality of Bangladesh by planting and preserving trees. To steer innovation in planning, development and maintenance of prevalent sustainable culture, history & heritage. · To increase awareness of social, environmental & economical benefits of healthy culture, cultivation, history & heritage. To raise responsiveness to leafs, as each green leaf contains the glory of the Sovereign Creator.

Three programs of Udbastu Foundation:

1. Green Garden Pujita (plant & seed Center)

2. Patronize a Plant

3. Promoting Edible Palm Trees.

1. Green Garden Pujita—GGP

GGP is basically a distribution program of quality seed & plant. At the same time it provides advices & suggestions on agriculture. This program is presently running especially for the three different remote rural areas in Bangladesh.

Currently, we are working at Kuakata (Patuakhali), Akhaura (Brahman-Baria), & Shastagonj (Sylhet). Over the last three years we have reached to around 440 families to give out plants & advice, throughout the three satellite areas.

Goals of GGP

To initiate awareness among cultivators about hybrid seeds & plants.

To make cultivators aware about retaining & maintaining quality of seeds.

To provide information on how to make garden on the rooftops of houses & fallow land.

To provide logistical support for local cultural & historical event.

2. Patronize a Plant—PAP

Patronize a plant is a door to door distribution program which gives away one to five different kinds of saplings, at first to friends & family members. After a certain time (minimum one year) the Foundation recollects those grown trees and distributes those through the PAP chapter.

An Individual can get involved to adopt few trees and so, nursing those trees they acquire a relationship with the nature. At the same time cosmopolitan citizen can get acquainted with the green movement. The best part of this program is self-learning, and people get to feel their personal involvement.

Udbastu Foundation began this program on the Pohela Boishak of Bangla New Year 1416 (14th April, 2009). We began with only 52 families throughout the city of Dhaka. Now, in 2011, we have more than 263 families in Dhaka as well as in other cities.

Through this program mostly our cosmopolitan citizens have contributed their time and efforts for growing plants. As they do not have enough space for planting or gardening, so contribute in this way. The beauty of this program is that people are using out-going water of their A/C’s fro their plant.

Goals of PAP

To involve the urban community to patronize plants for a period.

To help a plant to grow for a certain period without risk.

To involve urban citizen in the green movement.

3. Promoting Edible Palm Trees—PEP

Apparently PEP is a very simple give away program. It runs every year during the month of May, June & July. Through this program the Foundation first selected 3 Bungalow/ farmhouse in Dhaka, Gazipur, and Sylhet. Then 66 edible palm trees were distributed to each Bungalow/ farmhouse. Most of them were one and half year old trees.

Now in 2011, the Foundation is in touch with more then 1057 families throughout the 4 different areas in Bangladesh. Most of these trees have been distributed in poor families, schools and graveyards. Moreover the Foundation also supplies fertilizers to the farmer from time to time. The Foundation is planning to provide 3-5 trees to each family.

On the average, after 4 year a palm oil tree will produces 10-12 fruit-branches. Each fruit-branch would weigh 40-60 kg; out of that weight 1/3 could have crude palm oil. One fruit branch takes less then 6 months to become mature to procure oil. The good part is, after extracting the oil from the palm seed, whatever is leftover, that scrap can then be used as an organic fertilizer, rather than using chemical fertilizer.

Normal oil palm trees start bearing fruits after 30-40 months of plantation and would continue to remain productive for the next 20 to 30 years, thus ensuring a consistent supply of oil.

Goals of PEP

To make the family, provided with the tree, self-sufficient in edible oil within 4-5 years; To make the environment green with 100% environment friendly plantation; To replace chemical fertilizers by using organic fertilizer.

We Are working on a New Pilot Project in our different Community in urban area. The goal of the project is Develop A Lake Throughout a Society. Our First Pilot Project will be Commence with Banani Society Dhaka during the month of July 2011.

Through an integrated system, Udbastu Foundation would be providing edible oil, livestock food, and nutrition supplement to the local community at reasonable price. As we know that human being is as big as his expectations are, so does the Foundation. Udbastu Foundation Center Point House # 2/A, Road # 95, Gulshan-2, Dhaka-1212, Bangladesh
