| Migration from rural to urban areas has been a global phenomena for centuries. Reasons for this include greater opportunity, secure income, a sense of freedom, a sense of being interconnected and being part of a privileged system. Cities can no longer sustain an exponentially growing population with exponentially growing demands. The imbalance has become more evident with a rapidly deteriorating environment and quality of life. Not surprisingly, villages in many parts of the world, still offer a healthy environment and an intact eco-system. There are hopeful signs of rural grassroot organisations which have successfully created local cycles of mutual cooperation in a self organised way. The Barefoot College in Rajasthan and the Gurukula Botanical Sanctuary in Kerala are testimony to this. This is gradually changing the notion that villages are backward by transforming them into an alternative models of sustainability.
