GrassRoot Innovation in India

I was surfing the net to find out the grassroot level innovation in India, which helps rural people. I came across several examples of ordinary people innovating and making them accessable to rural poor.

When we look at the lives of rural population, the most important things which all need are: Food(Water), Housing, Energy, Health, Education in the order of priority. We need to use locally available resources which are sustainable and cost effective.

Here are few examples:

1. Use of Bio-Gas in rural India: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gklJIPFyhIc
