Add text hereThe students can connect with SRISTI directly via the Honey Bee Network.The network allows them to access the latest innovations made by the organisation.It also allows them to critique the cross stream innovations made by the organisation.&nbsp; SRISTI (Society for Research and Initiatives for Sustainable Technologies and Institutions) set up in 1993 to support and strengthen the Honey Bee Network - a voluntary informal network of creative people, policy makers, scientists, NGOs and other professionals interested in augmenting grassroots innovations. The Honey Bee Network tries to:

<parsererror style=#Provide a peer groups of farmers, artisans, scientists, academics across language, culture and regional boundaries to nurture, critique and encourage innovative experimentation.#Break the nexus between the regions of high biodiversity and high poverty endowed with poor public as well as private infrastructure.#Provide access to information that can help improve productivity without increasing cost using other farmers' innovations. Most of the grassroots innovators do not have access to relevant information, which cripples their ability to raise resources and explore opportunities in different markets. Thus poor demand of ecological and technological skill as well as their eco- friendly products forces them to become "unskilled labourers"display: blockin the urban houses and markets; whitegalvanize existing institutions and community structures to inspire and sustain the curiosity and spirit of younger generation to pursue the path of experimentation and excellence in local eco-space: pre; border: 2px solid enterprises and natural resource management.#c77; padding: 0 1em 0 1em; margin: 1em; background-color: #fdd; color: black">=== <br/> ===Resolve an ethical dilemma about sharing and protecting traditional as well as contemporary knowledge of individuals and communities evolved through conscious efforts but guided by different value systems without keeping people poor. The fact that we have not found many young healers indicates that younger generation does not find the career of healer or herbalist worth pursuing when it entails a life of penury though with a lot of goodwill in the community.
