Power of Simple Solutions

Delhi 05 September 2025

From solar-powered rickshaw ambulances to recycled rainwater tanks, grassroots innovations remind us that India's greatest progress often emerges from simple, locally rooted solutions of hope

Power of Simple Solutions

A question is often asked: What gives me the most hope for our nation's future? It is perhaps not found in grand, top-down schemes, but in the quiet, determined efforts of individuals and organisations working at the grassroots. It is in the spirit of this discovery that "Nexus of Good"—a movement dedicated to finding, celebrating, and connecting the countless positive stories of change that are unfolding across India, was founded. The goal is to create a powerful network where these inspiring initiatives can be shared, replicated, and scaled.

Recently, at a Nexus of Good event in Kolkata, the audience had the privilege of witnessing a presentation from one such remarkable organisation: the Professional Institute for Development and Socio-Environmental Management, or PRISM. For over two decades, this West Bengal-based non-profit has been a beacon of hope, addressing the "unexpressed and most felt needs" of the most vulnerable sections of our society. What struck me about PRISM was not just their passion, but their profound understanding of a fundamental truth: the most effective solutions are often the simplest, born from a deep respect for local context, traditional knowledge, and environmental harmony.

PRISM operates on a powerful three-pronged approach of research, consulting, and direct implementation. Their work is a masterclass in frugal innovation, creating solutions that are not only affordable and effective but also culturally appropriate and community-owned. They don't just deliver aid; they empower people with tools and knowledge, enabling them to participate actively in their own development.
