'Jugaad Technology ' in Cuba
After the fall of the USSR, Cuban Economy suffered heavily. They had a tough life with availability of essential goods and services. This time frame in the 1990s is called as the Special Period in Cuba.
Due to lack of spareparts and ther goods each Cuban has evolved into an expert motor mechanic, electrician and technician. It is a very common scene to see a cuban repairing something in front of his house-a mixer or a vehicle . Jugaad(the Indian Term to resolve things) is at its peak in cuba from anything to using a LADA engine fro MERCEDES BENZ, using a small motor to run the bicycle on mechanical power or making wooden boats to face the brunt of the mighty sea etc etc.
Everything in Cuba can 'be resolved' with the intelligence and strong character of the cuban people.
