Introduction
 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. Top
