It is our belief that the future of societies will be high technology and decentralized rural based units. What will be the size of these units one is not sure but they will be between village and a town. Our data has shown that Taluka is the right size and fits the bill. We also feel that this decentralization and subsequent sustainability can be achieved by the combination of ancient Indian philosophical thought and modern high-tech agriculture. Ancient Indian thought can provide an envelope to our greed for resources.

We also feel that the sustainable technologies already developed by NARI, including whole-plant approach in various crops, is a step in the right direction. Thus an attempt is being made to develop strategies for Taluka to optimize the production of food, fuel, fertilizer and feed for the animals from the same piece of land. A concept paper on this theme has been written recently.

Towards this goal an attempt is being made at NARI to do experimental work and set up a sustainable center. The center will teach the participants on how to use high technology together with spirituality for developing a sustainable life style. The basic theme is "Simple living and high thinking". The material of teaching in this center will be mostly based on the writings of Anil K. Rajvanshi. Other notable scholars and researchers will also be called to lecture at the center. A small workshop is planned on this concept and will be held soon.
