The Village Knowledge Centre has made its mark in bringing out knowledge connectivity among the community members by its services pertaining to content dissemination, capacity building and linkages. Thus far it positioned its stand among different players in the national scenario due its focus on knowledge connectivity leading to development with social inclusion principle. The journey with the Village Knowledge Centre for more than a decade with an M S Swaminathan Research Foundation supported by various funding agencies, who believed in this concept, yielded quite good experience on ground. At this juncture, an inter programme area collaborative initiative was done between Informatics Division and Coastal System Research by designing a project on ―Strengthening the Resilience of tsunami affected community‖. The project incorporated the components of Bio-shield, Village Resource Centre (VRC) and Village Knowledge Centre (VKC), Livelihood and Disaster Risk Reduction. This was implemented in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh of India from April 2006 to March 2009. The project covered 18 villages encircling 10 in Tamil Nadu (TN) and 2 in Andhra Pradesh (AP), in which VKC was established in 10 villages (4 in AP and 6 in Tamil Nadu).The profile of the villages both in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh indicates that some of the villages are homogeneous in terms of caste and livelihood pattern while some are heterogeneous by caste and livelihood pattern. The major livelihood of the villagers lies in fishing, agriculture and livestock in TN and AP.
