A Note from Dr. Lakhwinder Gill: Asia-Pacific Innovation Conference 2026 Submission Guidelines – Abstract and Full Paper — Asia Pacific Innovation Conference. The organizers have a request to the Indian scholars to participate with substantial benefits as mentioned below: Could you do the APIC conference organizer a favour by recommending that graduate students and colleagues participate at the conference? Indian participation currently seems low. Do inform them that we are planning a special issue of a Web of Science (WOS)journal, and an international press book. Selected papers will be published there. You are requested to consider your contribution and attend the conference at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Looking forward to your cooperation. Regards, Lakhwinder Singh, lakhwindergill@pbi.ac.in.

Thesis "In search of grassroots frugality: Everyday learning and experiential knowledge to navigate water uncertainties in the Bundelkhand region, India" by Birendra Singh
In search of grassroots frugality: Everyday learning and experiential knowledge to navigate water uncertainties in the Bundelkhand region, India
by Birendra Singh, Erasmus University Rotterdam, 2023, ISBN: 9789064901751
Abstract: Different disciplines, philosophical traditions, cultures, and religions have discussed frugality and its various material and non-material implications for human life. The application of frugality in the context of innovation and technology to cater to the needs of poorer sections of society is often known as frugal innovation. This thesis situates various manifestations of frugality in their social context while emphasizing everyday grassroots realities. Taking inspiration from sociology and anthropology, it zooms in on the intersectional relationship between resource ownership, institutional access, and lived experience (i.e., prior knowledge) to understand what is frugal and who embraces frugality in a particular local context.
