Introduction
• ‘Zav’ in Sanskrit means to alter, to change or to
transform
• We live in an age where the acquisition and
presentation of new knowledge and information
is astonishing.
• We cannot afford to be static in such a fast
running world and so to widen up our boundaries
laid by the surrounding environment and to
unleash our potentials, now we have a platform

Our Vision
Live-Grow-Change-Create
Zav dreams of a New Society where people live in
harmony, where there is total freedom for the
complete growth of the individual, where each
person accepts the other as they are with the
right attitude. We visualize a place where people
value peace, love, truth, justice and equality
through self change and thus social change. A
place where coming together and working
together we are able to create a new future.

future with skills that are honed in a way that
there is personal change and thus social
change.

The Value hierarchy that drives us
• Belief in self and others – each person has a spark
of the supreme
• Belief in society – the society is a reflection of
personal character
• Belief in being there – for self, others and do so
willingly
• Belief in a right attitude – towards self, life, work
and fellowmen
• Belief in collective action – that together is the
right way
