Dear Reader
Welcome to the current edition of our newsletter. Keeping up with the eclectic nature of work that this newsletter reflects, we see how Planet Abled provides differently abled people an opportunity to break any limitation and get into mainstream travel. They show how to create a ‘homely environment’ for these people when they travel for leisure. On the other hand, Saathi Pads give us pads made of banana fibre. The team has also created a new income source for farmers by buying waste banana fibre from them. NextConnect, through its endeavours, teaches us how to address the problem of unequal access to quality-education and information among urban and rural students in India. They are focusing on the lack of holistic development among students. Finally, the newsletter showcases National Agripreneurs Summit organized on 26th August, 2017.
