MS NEPAL

The ancient Greeks well understood the importance of the household in working with nature while developing their economy, in one of the most advanced and harmonious civilizations of post-glacial times.

The local and officially registered name for the JPP is the “Grihasthashram Kendra”, or Centre.

So the JPP sees Permaculture, a design system using the application of principles of ecology for creating sustainable human habitats, as a design system for creating a sustainable Grihasthashram.
