TARIFF
THE PS CAMPUS
|
|
During this period PS made efforts to get land from local communidade in Bandora village to develop a campus for its own activities own. However, these attempts were in vain. Thereafter, in 1989 succeeded in buying a 4-½ acre farm in Madkai village, a short distance away from Bandora. The main building was built within a year and PS shifted it office from Bandora to this new own campus. The chosen village met all the criteria set by PS, which primarily wanted to set up its base in a remote village with a population of poor people, and marginalized farmers, where the campus would became the hub of experiment towards self-reliant villages. Over the years, a new campus gradually took shape. The campus was designed to merge harmoniously with the environment with low buildings and not a single tree was cut down for buildings. The campus now provided a convenient site for variety of trainings activities and successfully engaged in natural farming.
Now the Campus has infrastructures and facilities.
Besides this campus
is unique site of experiment on natural / farming which is full of hundreds of
tree, shrubs and creepers. For detail please refer chapter on Organic Farming.

DOCUMENTATION CENTRE 1992
Having the campus infrastructure made it possible for PS to take up another role – that of documentation. It begins with keeping paper clipping on and about some 110 subjects and events. PS also conducted or promoted a number of studies on various topics and issues, most of them related to the environment and Biodiversity in Goa and about the Western Ghats.

The Studies were the outcome of the activities and engagements of PS
and also provided direction and impetus to fresh initiatives. One example of
this was the Bio-diversity Workshop organized in 1996 and seminar on
medicinal plants of Goa. Later in 1998, as
PS changed its basic strategy and put greater emphasis on national level
work, the Documentation Centre material was handed over to the library of Goa
Union of Journalists, Panaji, so that it would be readily available for
consultation and everyday use. |
