Building a local and sustainable network economy among a cluster of villages in Thiruvallur District of Tamilnadu. A group of about 40 Panchayat Leaders of the Thiruvallur District have focussed their efforts in creating a livelihood for their villagers through a local network economy model whereby the key consumables in the village are produced and processed within the cluster of villages. We have been associated with this effort in shaping the concepts, documenting the efforts, presenting their efforts to the world, helping the leaders to mobilise initial funds, etc.
