Five institutions. A charter, a stage, and a first milestone each.

A residential school of two hundred, admitting on capability alone and charging nothing to those who cannot pay.

Horizon

3 yrs to first cohort

Capital

Sustainer-scale, 40 seats

Sanskrit grammar and formal logic taught alongside analysis, computation and machine intelligence. One master to every eight students, in the Takshashila ratio. Students leave able to read a primary source and to write production code.

First milestone
First cohort of forty, one campus, in three years.

An independent institute for the sciences, endowed so that no funder can dictate a conclusion.

Horizon

Endowment first

Capital

Founding Patron

Fellowships of seven years, not three. Publication in the open commons only. Priority to problems the market will not pay for: agrarian resilience, tropical disease, materials from local minerals, indic language models.

First milestone
Endowment floor set before the first fellow is appointed.

One river system restored watershed by watershed, with measurement published every quarter.

Horizon

100 yrs · quarterly

Capital

Patron, per watershed

Not a campaign. A standing order of engineers, hydrologists, farmers and volunteers working a century-long schedule: effluent interception, floodplain re-forestation, aquifer recharge, and legally binding stewardship agreements with the villages along the bank.

First milestone
Baseline survey and two pilot watersheds.

Ten thousand decaying manuscripts moved into the open commons — imaged, transcribed, translated, free.

Horizon

5 yrs · 10,000 texts

Capital

Patron

Palm-leaf and paper collections across temples, mathas and family libraries are dying in real time. Each text is digitised at archival quality, transcribed with scholarly apparatus, released under an open licence, and mirrored in three countries so no single fire can undo it again.

First milestone
Two mobile imaging units and a public archive.

Training in the unglamorous machinery of power: law, budgets, logistics, administration, negotiation.

Horizon

Annual intensive

Capital

Sustainer

Read on the Arthashastra and on modern public finance in the same term. Graduates are placed into municipal and institutional work, not commentary. The Society measures success by systems repaired, not by opinions published.

First milestone
A twelve-week residential intensive, annually.
