In the village of Gadha in northwestern India, a nonprofit organization called the Society for Research and Initiatives for Sustainable Technologies and Innovations, or Sristi, grassroots creativity is making people's lives better. After seven years of working in 5,500 villages primarily in the Indian state of Gujarat, Sristi has found a wealth of what it calls "grassroots innovations." Those discoveries are in turn catalogued in a database (current count : 10,000) and shared in a newsletter.
