green houses

Way back in 1996, a farmer won the panchayat elections and took a bank loan to set up a community windmill. Today, this panchayat is not just free of any dependence on the govt. for its power needs, it has also ensured drinking water and housing for all its residents!

Made by incorporating straw, bamboo and timber, these houses are cheaper, recyclable and pollution-free. As for the life span, they can last for a thousand years!
