MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER CHAIRMAN
I feel honored to have the Alternative Development Organization (ADO) launched in Norway. We have been working on the Alternative Development Model (ADM) through various Foundations in India and Japan, where India-Japan Global Partnership played a paramount role in taking ADM forward. India-Japan Global Partnership was the first shining outcome of this vision, through which, India- home to 1/6th portion of the humanity was presented as the Socio-Economic Lab for the empowerment-based ADM. India welcomed the idea of this empowerment-based framework in the form of various initiatives like Industrial Corridors, Alternative Healthcare Model, Alternative Transportation Model and so on. We came to a realization that the idea of ADM, in its variant, was already being followed by the country Norway and its Nordic friends for several decades. Hence, the entire Nordic region can be considered as a Living Lab for ADM. This has, in fact, been our missing piece, which put together like mosaics, can complete a picture of our quest for empowerment and sustainability. Norway, a neutral country which represents the ethics and essence of the Nordic region and a follower of this model, makes a perfect country for us to join our hands and partner with for the launch of this thought-process. We look forward to working together with like-minded individuals and entities in our effort of making a change for the better.

MESSAGE FROM THE CO-FOUNDER AND VICE CHAIRMAN
The vision and the values of Alternative Development Model (ADM) are well aligned with those of the Nordic region. Here in Norway, we have always envisaged a region which is not just aware and understanding but also unafraid to take ground-breaking measures to change things. The Nordic sensibility is well-known around the world as one of the most future-forward and sustainable. Now, with the establishment of Alternative Development Organization (ADO), we look forward to taking this sensibility further to the countries who have the power to overhaul their development framework. The ethic of ADM, entrenched in responsibility, efficiency and sustainability is the need of the hour in order to ensure growth and increased life quality for people all over the world. Countries that subscribe to this development ideology undoubtedly have the power to change their and the world’s future. ADM doesn’t just preserve and protect the environment but also has the power to invigorate the economies towards being long-sustaining and vibrant. We look forward to governments, businesses and individuals joining us as part of this dynamic family, which will empower, innovate and thrive.
