Where has this idea come from?

The Greening India project is blossoming out of several years of collaboration and brainstorming among a number of Indian and international scholars, activists and grassroots leaders. 

Who is involved?

The early stages of website development are being handled by Big Medicine, an Indo-American non-profit institute that guest edited the Summer 2007 issue of India's respected international policy journal , World Affairs.

Big Medicine project coordinator, Rita Dixit-Kubiak has worked closely with pioneering green grassroots organizations like Bija Vidyapeeth , Jagran Jan Vikas Samiti , Ubeshwar Vikas Mandal and the Indo-Japanese Citizen Diplomacy Association among others.

From Australia is the team of John Brisbin and Caroline Lieber, both of whom have active connections in India and are formulating program inserts to the Festival. John and Caroline can be contacted through their homespace at General Evolution Advocacy & Research (GENEVAR) .
