Work has been continuing on our conference room, but it is now fully functional and being used for tutorials and internal presentations. With a capacity of some 80 people we are hoping to host conferences on our campus in the near future.

Our dream has always been to build a harmonious community, keeping the best of traditional life, but incorporating the latest technology for our work. In 2006 we purchased a plot of land some 4 acres in area (16,000 sq m), a few kilometres outside Trivandrum, and in a rural setting. We sought and found a local, eco-friendly firm of architects who have helped us realise our dream. In 2009 we move to the new campus, which features:

Extensive and innovative use of bamboo in construction
Room for growth from the present 150, to 500 staff
Self-sufficient in water by rainwater harvesting in 60m pond
Self-sufficient in organic vegetables grown by our staff
Biogas from food waste to provide at least 50% of cooking fuel
Canteen run by a women’s association – see Kaveh’s blog post.
Crèche for employees in traditional Kerala house
On-site eco-friendly sewage system (anaerobic baffled reactor)
Minimal use of air conditioning
Full accessibility for wheelchair users via bridges
WIFI internet access throughout
Conference facility for up to 80 participants with full A/V
Sport facilities: Volleyball, gym, badminton, yoga, kayaking
Guest houses for visitors
