Detailed Description

The project attempts to identify innovative and ingenious solutions to problems in the everyday life of an Indian. The main aim is to bring about awareness about these products and practices, which are slowly fading out. The relevance of old values is in the inspiration they provide for the present; they should not be recalled for the sake of history. The earth has been ploughed for hundreds of years, even as water has been drawn and used for a variety of needs; the needs have not changed, but the methods have evolved at each stage, with man at the center, effecting change and making the most of his knowledge and his resources.
