We have been witnessing Internet shutdown in our country in recent times. It is also of utmost importance to have Communication tools that can withstand natural disasters. To create awareness and to educate people on building their tools to aid us in these dire situations, we have been conducting sessions on developing an alternative network. We had introductory courses on building Mesh-Networks, Community Infrastructure, disaster-resilient tools.
