A hybrid, community-inclusive, self-organizing format

Western India betters China. Under mäyee-bäp (patronizing, initiative-extinguishing, “we-know-better” attitude) visham-vikäs (developmental disparities), eastern India is sub-Sahäran.

My 3G (grassroots, global, godly) remedy: with non-interfering IDM-support, my NGO friends and I will, to a three-fifths-villages-fractal, aim to offer:

1. A hybrid, community-inclusive, self-organizing format I call the Sväsynt ⁵. Through it they can:

(a) Uproot the hopeless dependency infected into them, and

(b) Self-organize as initiative-taking, decision-skilled, and development-determining units that can order, receive and pay for improved infrastructure-needs/information-

services they may need from elsewhere.

2. With chosen vendors, Sväsynt rural communities will use the self-managed access of the vision-specified, BhaYûSh IT-System to offer markets for improved info-services relevant to their eco-agricultural, educo-health, produce-outlet and transportation needs that they will then self-fulfill.

We will demonstrate that ‘Digital Divide is a dumb phrase’, and that ‘Small is profitable’.
