The mandate for Sankalpa’s cMFS – the coalition of Moral Forces for Sustainability – is to promote the simple truth that the essence of sustainability is morality. 

We shall accept the fact that we presently live, and will probably live forever, in a Pareto principled world that is polarized between the minority haves and the majority have-nots. However, we do not contribute to the Leveler’s school of thought, who only aspire to pull people down to a uniform level of misery.  Nor do we aspire to be Utopian and live comfortable lives ourselves, whilst pulling down the shutters on Sankalpa’s raisson d’etre - the needy and dispossessed people clamoring for succor. We will, however, strive to make this world a better place to live in by discovering innovative and incontrovertible ways to diminish the gap between the haves and the have-nots. We will achieve this not by trying to pull everyone down to a uniformly lower level of deprivation, but by building a coalition of people with moral integrity and vision, who can nurture and sustain a program of grassroots activities for continuous improvement and upliftment in the standards of living and in the quality of life of the needy and dispossessed people, globally. 

Sankalpa’s cMFS will therefore have work to do as long as there is a discernible disparity in the social mileau of human societies, and by corollary, we will cease to exist when we have achieved our goal of global sustainable development through moral force.
