A service-learning project designed to support community development in rural India. Bringing together a number of disciplines to work on village infrastructure (e.g., maintaining reliable sources of potable water), students get hands-on experience in creating and maintaining sustainable technology. They also assist in supporting grassroots democracies in which the villagers have a major role in designing, generating, monitoring, and maintaining projects. Students learn about traditional societies and the complexities that emerge in the interplay between high-tech cultures and ancient values and practices. .
