get indian experts into a forum on education at underprivilleges ares ( slums , rural poor etc.)
- show the agastya.org model and see if sombody like Nagarjuna can sponser for 1 district on trail basis to setup ( pay for ) of the science Lab by buying lab itmes from agastya
- see if some of the expert panel can offer advice how to get 50% of the price tag from State government and remaining 50% from a donar like ANR
---------

rural earning JOB training.
issues: what they can produce , they can not produce some thing for export ( see china army of factories for socks manufacturing , on price front nobody can compete with them

issue: rural poor,
what they need: a) clean water b) food, c) reasonable house d) TV
what they can offer: 8 hours of labor , but they are not skilled, even after training their skill set is too below to economically produce any thing that is real issue
solution: find out what is the % of cost split for building homes a) materials vs. Labor cost
Build a community labored house ( multi story) with govt. housing subsidy + LOAN on house + they labour.
- train and build local facilities to make Bricks, wooden windows , steel work etc...
