Exposure to Villages in India

Our villages in India need more exposure. I am confident that there are thousands of innovations going on - mainly because of the basic need - and they say necessity is the mother of invention! Just a Google search will tell us how innovative are our villages - starting from basic medicine to sophisticated psychology issues! Look at this - http://www.sristi.org/anilg/

I found this very interesting link some time back when I was searching for this topic: http://www.rediff.com/money/2006/aug/25spec.htm

Lot of these innovations and inventions tie naturally with the cycles of nature – be it related to conservation of water or related to medicine. In my view, it was unfortunate that we had it in our culture to say greed is not good! Let us accept this – little greed is good. Everything is bad when it is too much, isn’t it? So is greed.

I had earlier discussed we need capsules of capitalism in our villages to boost them. These are the avenues where there is a scope for unconventional investments. Exposure, venture capital help, education on IPR can make our villages pretty rich!
