This is basically a show&tell page for Merijanmbhumi, an Indian rural/urban networking project designed to increase village opportunities, promote vibrant cultures, and boost grassroots political power.
The system uses low-cost SMS/MMS/internet interactivity to democratize access to knowledge, markets, innovations and opportunities as well as critical hidden information.
After 2 years of testing in 3 villages, we now have more than a thousand households connected and know the model works. Next we need to extend it ten-fold to reach self-sustaining scale and viral replication.
We're looking for help in that direction...
