We provide impoverished individuals with access to experimental workshops where ideas can be tested, developed, and launched in rural Indian villages
This is facilitated through the use of financing, volunteering, business mentoring, championing of local consumers, and soft technologies
Innovation centers will generate eco-friendly, energy efficient solutions
