Dear Nature Lovers,
Greetings from oikos !

This month’s calendar is a tribute to our beloved teacher, mentor, Guru … Dr. Prakash Gole.

The mediocre teacher tells.
The good teacher explains.
The superior teacher demonstrates.
The great teacher inspires.
― William Arthur Ward

Oikos has earned its legacy from Dr. Prakash Gole. He has inspired us to think beyond all conventional borders, he has taught us the art of living!

To quote Prof. Gole, “If economics is primarily concerned with allocation of scarce resources among competing wants, it ought to show deep understanding of resources and their utilization. It does nothing of the sort. Mainstream economics tries to interpret and analyze the working of Industrial Capitalism and that too without any attempt to probe the foundations on which Industrial Capitalism stands. It’s time that we realize the very foundation of our economy and healthy & happy life which is ‘bountiful nature with biodiversity and healthy natural resources and processes’. Its high time that we restore our surroundings and integrate such principles in day to day life.”

We salute Prof Gole for thinking so much ahead of time and passing on the same passion amongst his innumerable students.

Oikos will strive to live by his principles and continue work in eco-restoration and education with his blessings.
