The Art of Social Development

In recent times, there are numerous social ventures that have propped up. Most of them have the noble idea of empowering the needy. A close examination of certain models in the society reveals an association with the patterns of nature. Such models have a greater impact on bringing about sustainable changes in the society.

Agasthya Foundation in India, is one such example. The Agasthya foundation was established to lay more emphasis on science education in the villages of India. The children of rural India, lacked exposure to science like the children in the urban areas. The foundation had a sole aim of narrowing the yawning gap between the rural and the urban areas. The seed for the foundation was laid in a village close to Bangalore in India. The seed that had been sowed, has grown into a huge tree with its branches across various cities in India. While bringing structural changes to the organization model, the founders ensured that a pattern similar to the 'Golden Mean' is implemented. The approach to ensure that people get on board was a centered approach, that had the capability to spread its influence across the various sectors.

From this example, it is evident that the art of developing the society lies in following certain patterns of nature. This would ensure the sustainability if the model in the long run.
