Rural Lab Events

FIN’s rural research laboratory is located in the village Kameswaram, Nagapattinam district of Tamil Nadu. The on-site internship students visit this tranquil village location. The activities here are coordinated with the help of an on-ground team of local FIN members. These include community interventions, public workshops, school workshops, trash cleaning beach walks, and testing of low cost innovations. Here is a set of interventions and activities from our Kameswaram rural laboratory. Here on this page are selected examples. The full details for 2021 events in the rural lab can be found in our compilation of Facebook posts of the year (click to view).

We do not post everything on our website by choice, because we want to minimize our carbon imprint via social media – after all – all this information is being stored on millions of computers, which are contributing to global warming.
