This article points to the work of Shripad Dabholkar and his concept of 
"Prayog Pariwar"

from the website:

This zest gradually matured, in what is now popularly known as, "Prayog 
Pariwar". So our "Manzil', our destination is that what is signified by 
the term "Prayog". The root meaning of word "Prayog" is, "Pra" means, 
'Going ahead' and "Yog" is Yukti or Knack. . Thus, the knack of going 
ahead, in any situation and in any circumstance is "Prayog". While 
"Pariwar" is nothing but 'Fraternity' signifying " Sense of "Belonging 
and Togetherness". In the beginning I started alone to take the spirit 
of science through actual experimentation to the people. This went on 
gathering momentum from all sections of the society. Your invitation to 
me here today is just of the same spirit.

To quote some of these ideas and results, I simply put a short list 
that I will have occasion to use in my exposition:

1. Natueco culture - Understanding how Nature has evolved this 
ecosystem and changing our entire agricultural practices and entire 
life style accordingly.
2. 2.Sagriculture - Agriculture based on four "S" - Sun, Science, 
Sharing & Sovereignty. S4 Agriculture.
3. Prayog Pariwar - A non-institutional network of sharing best of 
science till the success is achieved.
4.  Venture - Calculated risk-taking capacity in real life situation.
5.  Peer Venture Networks - Pioneers experimenting together and 
venturing together.
6.  Gypsy Venture Networks - Second generation of venturers who come on 
their own to Interact and get involved in peer venture network.
7.  Activity Bank - A new type of venture Trusteeship extending 
goodwill, credit, assurance, insurance etc. to venture.
8.  De-mystification of science - Explaining science in local idioms 
and analogies
9.  EUCES - 'Energy Unit Currency Exchange System' to replace present 
Government green notes and share markets virtual money system.
10.  Prosumer Society - Producer & Consumer Society free of global 
market pressures
