In the modern day society, with rapid progress of technology, the quality of life in general seems to have improved by leaps and bounds, yet there are various hurdles for a certain section of the society. The plight of such societies across the globe doesn’t seem to improve despite the advent of technology. The multinational innovative firms solve few problems with low cost innovations for rural and under developed societies with commercial incentive in mind. Grassroot innovators are very few in number. This is the basis for the model of Innosociety where societies indigenously learn over a period of time to innovate for their problems.
People in need of an innovation should become the innovators, it is for us to make way for such a possibility for the societies, which is a herculean task due to many reasons. One way is to focus on the grassroots of the source of innovation. To be able to come up with such self sustaining innovations people need to understand the fundamentals of science to apply it into their life, but the societies that we are talking of it is far from imagination that people have access to such information. Education has become more of a commodity ever since industrialization. Even creativity is formally taught at big schools such as the Stanford. We need a framework which enables the people to actively participate in the process of innovation.
As Oscar Wilde famously once said “Education is an admirable thing. But it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.” At Innosociety, we strive to build an education framework for the underprivileged kids. We wish to focus primarily on kids enable them to design the society they wish to live in. Our model of education is unconventional, to speak of we would not assess kids instead we will make kids think what they want from the society. They perhaps do not know yet what world expects from them but we want them to create the world. We start identifying kids who are either dropouts or have never attended school and will set up a connection with the school and their family. With the input given from the school and the family of the kids, we will shape the kid in such a way that the kid has the freedom to decide what he/she wants to do. Our program includes life skills and will enable the kid to innovate with the resources and environment the kid is in. This is how the idea works, while we have had the huge firms innovating for these underprivileged societies we give the kids a chance to get real education which will make each kid an innovator. By this approach kids are not forced to learn instead the learning is self motivated. This enables each kid to design the society with very unique insight.
We plan to raise funds for the activities by campaigning in various cities and spreading the idea to the common man. Highly motivated people are invited to join us and help in shaping a better society.
