Foundation Of Rural Environment And Sustainable Technology

You can find us over at Jagadish Debnath’s place in Rajaswa Colony, Hapania. It is right near the P.O. Ongc area, which is a busy little spot to be in. We spend our time focusing on the rural environment and the technology side of things. It is funny because people often think technology has to be big computers, but out here it is more about what actually works for the land we live on. We spend a lot of our time talking about how to keep things sustainable for the long run. It is not always easy. Sometimes the weather changes suddenly or the materials we need aren't available, and you just have to figure it out as you go. Being in Hapania means we are right in the middle of where the work needs to happen. We aren't some distant group; we are right here in the colony every day. Most of us have lived around this area for a long time. We drink tea, talk about the environment, and try to apply these different technologies in a way that makes sense for the local people. It is a slow process sometimes, but you cannot rush the environment. We just keep at it, day after day, out of the office near the post office. It is a very simple setup. We have desks, some chairs, and a lot of conversations about keeping the rural areas going without ruining the nature we have out here.
