The Honey Bee Philosophy

Honey Bee Network’s mission is best explained through the metaphor of a honey bee which does what many intellectuals and other privileged people fail to do. It gathers nectar from the flowers without impoverishing them. The Network similarly seeks to ensure that people do not feel short-changed when they share their knowledge with outsiders. It is for this reason that communication in local languages became an important norm. Promotion of lateral learning among creative individuals and communities through local language newsletters is one of the important missions of the Honey Bee Network.

Philosophy of Eight Es

SRISTI works on the principle of a synthesis between Eight Es, i.e., Excellence, Equity, Environment, Efficiency, Ethics, Empathy Education and Enterprise. These provide the right chemistry for societies seeped in mediocrity to get over their inertia and move towards a compassionate, creative, competitive as well as collaborative society.
