The vehicle for his ambitious plan is Schools forIndia (or S4I), a not-for-profit charitableorganisation

The Trust also aims to sponsor the education,food and uniforms of those who need them

An S4I document says it will target the bottom-most 2% of the population in terms of economic

status.


5/47

Idea of School

The inspiration for S4I came in 2004 whenChandrasekaran visited a village in Thiruvannamalai,Tamil Nadu, and was appalled by the condition of a

school there. And, thats exactly where his firstschool will come up.

The virtual model suggests the school will havehorizontal buildings, almost B-schoolish in

appearance, on a well-landscaped area of 20 acresincluding a playground and an amphitheatre.

The schools will run three shifts (with 1,000students in each), another novelty.

Chandrasekarans modus operandi is to creategroups in each district of the country that will takeoperational responsibilities for putting up schools

About 150 active members are now withChandrasekaran on this project

Another 1,200 volunteers help him out withsecondary research and data gathering when

required Chandrasekaran promote his pet theme, not just

Introduction

The 30 or so kids gathered at the village square in Kakori Kata Pabna

village on Assams Majuli island sing these words (in Assamese) with

gusto

They know these tenets are key to survival in the flood-prone area.

Majuli, the worlds largest inhabited riverine island, is situated in the

middle of the mighty Bramhaputra

For years, floods have wrecked its peoples lives and property

Official records state Majulis landmass has shrunk by half over the last

100 years. And Kakori Kata Pabna is among its 62 most vulnerable

villages.

Having dealt with the danger of floods, its lyrics go on to educate the

people on the importance of maintaining good health, advocating

measures like filtering and boiling water and washing hands and feet.

The organisation is helping Assams ripariancommunities overcome the devastationcaused by floods and take preventivemeasures.

Popularly known as Guruji, this electrical

engineer from IIT Delhi has worked with thepeople of the Bramhaputra river basin forover two decades.

Sensitising the kids to hygiene factors is partof Rural Volunteer Centres philosophy ofco-existence with floods.

The idea, says Ravindranath, is to educatethe people to live with floods and reducethe risk on life and property.


12/47

Strategy of RVC

The cornerstone of RVCs strategy is to keep the villagersmentally and physically ready to face floods through self-help groups.

The Duryog Pratirodh Samiti (Disaster Preparedness

Committee) in each village provides special flood-relieftraining to groups of village youth.

Train others in the village, including women and kids, indisaster-mitigation strategies.

The growing network of volunteers from different villages

keeps close tabs on the water level and sounds the alert incase of flash floods.

In all, there are 6,000 RVC volunteers spread over theBramhaputras 800 km passage through India. They alertdownstream regions on the possibility of floods

The Dhemaji district of North Assam, another flood-ravaged region where RVC has been active for manyyears has gone a step further. It is now focusing oncreating new and alternative livelihoods for people,

such as pig-breeding. High on Ravindranaths agenda is making flood relief

and disaster management part of the local schoolsyllabus.

A disaster preparedness committee for kids is also inthe offering at Kakori Kata Pabna.

are now participating in solid waste

management. Daily Dump sells over 100

teracotta composters every month.

Background ofEntreprenuer

Poonam Bir Kasturi as a character from Middle Earth,the world made famous in JRR Tolkiens The Lord of TheRings.

Founder of Daily Dump, she sits cosy before an AppleMacBook Pro at her office in Indiranagar in Bangalore.

Her venture generated Rs 22 lakh last year, mostly byselling terracotta products that compost domesticwaste.

The Daily Dump office is burrowed 12 feet beneathKasturis house, connected by an outside stairway


17/47

Idea of Business

If the surroundings are wet, you get lots ofthem, Kasturi says, excited. They are alive, asquirming mass that comes out at night.

At one point during the rains, I had maggotsall over my house. It freaked out my family. Ifelt, I have to figure out what these maggotscan do, and build an eco-system around that,she recalls her initiation into the world of solidwaste management, in 2005.


18/47

Daily Dump

Daily Dump now produces about 150

terracota composters every month.

In essence, this business is about nurturingarmies of black soldier-fly maggots.

Daily Dump has created clones of

entrepreneurs-cum-users like her across India

who sell composters and build their own

networks


19/47

Process

A kambha comprises three tiers of pots, each of which have tinypores for some air movement

Users buy a large three-tier kambha to store organic waste fromtheir houses, and this is ideal for a family of four.

The bottom-most pot is left empty, filled with dry leaves.

The top tier is where a user puts fresh waste everyday, only afterensuring there is no plastic material and hard objects with it. It hasto be separated. The segregation is critical for the waste to beorganic.

Once the waste (typically, residue of kitchen waste) is filled up in

the top-most pot, it is moved to the middle-tier for composting. Bynow, the maggots are acting most efficiently.

The middle pot of the kambha now moves to the top for moredumps, which have to be stirred regularly.

In time, the remains of the second pot turn into fertile soil, for usein lawns and gardens. It is a second life for domestic waste.


20/47

Current Status

In four years, Kasturi has 15 clonesin India that source her composterdesigns from the Daily Dumpwebsite, and sell the terracotta

products. There is also one clone each in

Chile, Brazil and Florida.

There are instances of user-developed designs too, as oneAurangabad businessman hasshown. He wants to create arotating composter, and partnerKasturi in designing it.


21/47

Competitors

Nirmal ofExnora has also embarked on a

Daily Dump-like model: a concept called

home beautifiers who cultivate composting

practices in households.

Each home-beautifier handles 10 houses,

visiting each to help them segregate organic

waste from metal, plastics and other non-

biodegradable products.


22/47

About Daily Dump

Daily Dump seeks to double production to 300composters per month.

But the market for it is still not there, mostly becausepeople are reluctant to handle waste.

Currently, it draws 80% revenue from terracottaproducts like kambhas, 10% from services (installation,after-sales, etc.), and the last 10% from otherawareness products that are published for children anddifferent types of users.

Kasturi has been able to plough back margins intobusiness to sustain it. From Rs 2 lakh in the first year,fiscal year 2010 generated Rs 22 lakh.

About the Entreprenuer

EM Koshy detests the empire buildingproclivities of do-gooders in the NGO sector

He presides over an NGO himselfthe Delhi-

based Agriculture and Organic Farming Group(AOFG India

Koshy is onto a game-changing initiative

He wants to empower the farmers he is working

with, and make them partners and shareholders,in a series of private limited companies he ispromoting, called the Farmers Limiteds.


44/47

Business Model

Farmers as entities registered underthe Society Actlargely meant for non-profit institutionsand thenincorporate a private limited company,with these societies as members. Largenumbers could thus be accommodated.

Farmers come together as commoninterest groups of 20 eachinformalunregistered bodies much like theubiquitous self-help groups (SHGs).

Twenty-five such groups form a LocalCluster Association (LCA), which is

registered under the Society Act. At least 10 LCAs hold equity in

the private limited company along withthe promoters or investors.


45/47

Problems Aroused

Organising and capacity building of farmers has been the biggestchallenge. AOFG wanted to float a bouquet of Farmers Limited anda requirement of Rs 5 crore was computed: Rs 50 lakh formarshaling farmers; Rs 2.5 crore for processing units andinfrastructure development; and Rs 2 crore as working capital. All

efforts at raising money from government departments, includingstate governments, came to naught.

On a visit to BioFach, the organic fair in Germany, in 2006, Koshymet Meindert Witvliet of Stichting . Koshy briefed Witvliet about hisfunding need and the concept of Farmers Limiteds.

Witvliet didnt promise anything and a disheartened Koshy returned

to India; only to find that SHGW had meanwhile credited 100,000to his account.

Koshy couldnt find anyone ready to provide capital for his idea inIndia, but found a supporter in Europe. From then on, the conceptgained momentum.

Farmers Limiteds are beginning to attract grantfunds as well as commercial capital.

Rabo Bank sees great potential in these firms and

is extending grant money for capacity building. The Delhi branch of the Indian Overseas bank has

extended a credit line, of Rs 6 lakh each, to fourof Koshys Farmers Limited.

Over the last three years, Yes Bank has disbursedover Rs 20 crore as working capital loans, all ofwhich have been repaid
