There are many NGO s in IndiaBeing the real human in the real world is difficult. Thats why I try to find people who are doing their part. That’s what being a real Human is all about. Incidentally, that’s the name of their NGO Being the Real human. Being the real human is a foundation which believes in making their own corner of the world better. They do it with whatever resources they have.In conversation with Mr.Utpal of this NGO.
Q: Tell me about Being Real Human?
A: Being the Real Human Foundation is a registered NGO working towards improving the environment and Animal rights and focusing to bring some smiles on the faces of the aged.
Being The Real Human:NGO in Mumbai with a soul
Q: Who all are there in this with you?
I have small teams working all over Navi Mumbai who specialize in Animal welfare and Environmental issues. We have Doctors, Advocates and chartered accountants associated with us in our cause. As soon as people realize that we are doing this work, not for any awards or limelight, they tend to join us. There is a decent amount of people in the society who want to genuinely give back something to the society as a whole and these people are our strength.
NGO in India spreading the message of humanity:They know plants keep us alive
Q: How did you think about this project?
A: It all started with a cremation process of someone known to me. He was a young chap and his suicide came as a shock to all of us. While we were doing his last rites, this thought came to my mind…”We know the cycle of birth to death (clinically as well as medically), but do we know what happens after death? So is death the end? Or is it the beginning? Is it the beginning of a new journey which none of us are aware of, except the person who goes on it! This journey may be beautiful of very painful. The person going on this new journey will definitely not have us with him/her. So why not make the last days of the person leaving this journey beautiful. Why not send him/her happily for their new journey? Likewise with animals, why not see them off across the rainbow bridge with whatever love we can give them?”
Being The Real Human:Utpal taking care of hos four legged friend
Q: Who helped you do this?
A: No project happens with one person. There are always people who act as support pillars to make a shelter. My wife Prita who is the Vice president of the NGO, my friends Raju Naidu who is the Secretary, always accompanying Arun Revane, the helping sisters Laxmi Jha and Pinky Jha who are founder members along with Smita D Naidu who is our Treasurer.
Q: What work do you focus on through this NGO?
A: We Focus on Animal welfare, Environment conservation, and Old age homes.
Being The Real Human: A caring hand and smiling face is all the elderly need
Q: How do you manage it all?
A: By Gods grace, I should say. Since it’s a newly formed NGO, we are not yet entitled to any grant from the Government. It is the members, patrons, and well-wishers who contribute whenever possible and this keeps the show running.
Q: How can people help?
A: People can donate/contribute directly to the NGO’s account at :
People who want to do selfless service can request an application form to join the organization with a nominal- membership fee along with relevant documents and photographs.
Q)Tell me about Utpal Krishna who manages so much good work?
I am born and brought up in Mumbai, graduated from the Mumbai University and worked in the corporate world for about 20 years. I quit the corporate world in 2012 and started Full-time consultancy in Content management and Food. As a certified nutritionist, I have helped many stay fit and also work with corporates from time to time for their Food related content requirements. I run a blog at fashionablefoodz.com which is well known by now. After doing voluntary social service for over 10 years, I decided to start a NGO and in April 2017, Being The Real Human came into existence.

Thats really nice of them. Actually they are real heroes or human beings. I just salute to their great effort. Their initiative can change the life of many . Very inspiring and motivating post.
I salute those people who are putting their efforts establishing NGO’s and also those who are supporting this. I hope many people will still be a blessing to others. Its good to know that there are still many people who care for the well being of others, may it be people or animals or for the environment.
What a wonderful thing to do! I’ve done many charity / human welfare trips, and they are always so worthwhile. It’s good to step outside our comfort zones and help others to remember how much we have to be grateful for.
All the very best to the team. All of us keep saying that we want to do so much, but are too caught up in our own lives. It is good to see people making the effort.
Indeed a great cause for this NGO to take up and yes that’s what we as human should be as “Real humans”. Great take for environment and love for animals.
Its is always nice to read about people who try and do our world to a better place! I hope that they get regonition from the state and a lot more people know about Being The Real Human fondation!

Good to see people being part of such self-less work. I love animals and would love to associate with such organisations in future.
I love the fact that there now many NGOs to focus on Animal Rights. More power to Utpal and his work.
I love reading stories about people who are making a difference. We need to share more of these stories to encourage others to do the same.
Yes very true

All the very best to the team. All of us keep saying that we want to do so much, but are too caught up in our own lives. It is good to see people making the effort.
Such a great initiative, always brilliant to see grassroots organisations working to make change
Animals have emotions too, and when they got attached to humans, it is unconditional. I like this kind of initiative.
I love that you have found your online and real human community. What a wonderful motivation for starting the week off right!
