-
We crossfyre team consist of diverse groups of people who,
- are urban professionals working in the area of rural technology development and dissemination. Our emphasis remains on productivity improvement and livelihood diversification, with a strong focus on the people-connect of the technologies.
- are current farmers, who have joined efforts in ecology-sensitive agriculture in rural areas. The focus of such farming is on traditional crops, small-scale energy efficient devices and solutions for small and marginal farmers.
- remain connected to rural areas where we grew up, but have moved away currently. Intermittant visits and having friends/family in rural areas, keep us rooted to enable local innovation/fabrication for rural livelihoods.
- are team members of Rural Technology Action Group (RuTAG) at IIT Madras. RuTAG has been enabling development of technology solutions for rural stakeholders through a need-based identification process. RuTAG team members are engaged in Crossfyre with a belief to embark on a dream to enable innovation/fabrication, next to the location where need has been identified.
- are innovators and fabricators from rural areas, who are interested in providing local solutions for livelihood and efficiency improvements for rural agricultural and non-agricultural requirements.
