The Centre will help network partners, associates, friends and well-wishers to distribute their creative, meaningful and relevant products and/or services here. These may come as ideas, activities, designs, films, audio recordings, posters, photos, solutions, etc.
Products/services mentioned here are meant to serve the various needs of people and communities, the satisfaction of which should lead to awareness, knowledge, orientation, and action. They are also meant to provide a 'voice' to the voiceless - animals, plants, ideas, issues, the environment, and the powerless/marginalised communities. [Needless to say, the Centre will also offer its own products and services (for now see here and here)].
Products/services here are distributed free as gifts. Or (following the principle of fair trade) sold (for which a payment counter is in the process of being set up). It is also the aim of the Centre to encourage exchange through barter trade among interested persons, associations and communities.

Aamakaar – The Turtle People
“We have to keep fighting for our existence – like a baby turtle has to keep flapping its flippers.” Aamakaar tells the story of preservation. A people of a village in North Kerala fight to preserve their village, and their livelihoods, threatened by sand mining on their estuary. For the last ten years they have been conserving Olive Ridley Turtles that come to their beach to nest. They see the preservation of a species on the verge of extinction as an extension of their fight against the destruction of their estuary, their village, and their lives. The film follows the rhythm of work in the village to unfold this struggle for existence of a species, of a people.
