He noticed how the marginalized farmers were being paid poorly for their otherwise unmatched knowledge. The gross injustice of this constant imbalance led Professor Gupta to found what would turn into a resounding social and ethical movement the Honey Bee Network bringing together and elevating thousands of grassroots innovators. For over two decades, Professor Gupta has travelled through rural lands unearthing innovations by the ranks from the famed Miticool refrigerator to the footbridge of Meghalaya. He insists that to fight the largest and most persistent problems of the world we must eschew expensive research labs and instead, look towards ordinary folk. Innovation that oft-flung around word is stripped to its core in this book. Poignant and personal, Grassroots Innovations is an important treatise from a social crusader of our time. 000049032 650_4 $$aTechnological innovations$$xSocial aspects 000049032 650_4 $$aEconomic development$$xSocial aspects 000049032 650_4 $$aCreative ability in business 000049032 650_4 $$aCommunity development 000049032 650_4 $$aInnovation 000049032 650_4 $$aEntrepreneurship 000049032 650_0 $$aEntrepreneurship$$xStudy and teaching. 000049032 7001_ $$aGupta, Anil K.,$$eauthor. 000049032 904__ $$aBook 000049032 980__ $$aBIB
