A Quote by Vandana Shiva

The director of the institute where I was working apologized about these young, enthusiastic researchers when the World Bank visited because he was afraid the institute would lose the World Bank consultancies.I went back home and started the Research Foundation for Science, Technology, and Ecology?an extremely elaborate name for the tiny institute that I started in my mother?s cow shed. My parents handed over family resources and said, ?Put them to public purpose.? That?s how I survived.
