UBSS Society has been working in the CG state of India since its inception in 2003. The state is comprised of largely tribal people. The economy centers around farming and labor activities. Educational attainment, especially for females, is low. Given that those who populate the area are highly disparate both ideologically and spatially, conflict within and between communities is common. Moreover, in recent years the area has witnessed mass migration of its youth to nearby cities in an attempt to escape a life of working in the field. Motivated by these factors, UBSS aims to work on tackling the above mentioned issues through its work with youth and child development, women's empowerment, and communal harmony issues with a purely community centered and human-rights based view of development.

Education is both the means as well as the end to a better life: the means because it empowers an individual to earn his/her livelihood and the end because it increases one's awareness on a range of issues - from healthcare to appropriate social behavior to understanding one's rights - and in the process help him/her evolve as a better citizen.
