Eklavya model residential school for boys at Ranchi

Abstract

In a multi-disciplinary world of today, we require people with divergent thinking who can adopt and mould in the changing time. For this education holds the key as it is the rock solid foundation where diverse creative individuals who can shift the gear of paradigm shift in a positive direction. Since my approach will be based on theoretical grounds, my architectural interpretation will have to address children of such different diversity will be an interesting field for me to explore. All the aspects such as spatial, material, psychological, functional, behavioural, climatic etc. will have to been think over in a new way which will be both challenging and a new learning process for me. The tribal belt of Jharkhand has recently been considered for inclusion into the regularities. There has been a lack of coordination while the government has tried to work in this issue. One of the reasons for this is foundational weakness while setting up educational institutions. My aim through this thesis is to establish a residential Tribal school which covers all aspect of basic educational, recreational and empowerment setup and build facilities which incorporate the modern teaching method, keeping the cultural context in focus. This school will serve around 420 residential students, and all their needed facility would be catered.
