JAIPUR: To mark 50 years, Tilonia's The Barefoot College is organising a four-day event at Jawahar Kala Kendra in Jaipur.
A college that has no formal degrees but is researched upon by the most reputed institutions and scholars of the world. A training centre that helps semi-literate women become solar mamas and engineers in their own right. A model that helps in conserving water in the most parched regions of the country. A platform for reviving and promoting local art. A space that engages in traditional communication to drive home significant social messages.
The Social Work and Research Centre (SWRC) at Tilonia's Barefoot College completes 50 years this year. In the past half-century, it has stood for bringing together technology, communication, education, and handicrafts for the betterment of the rural communities.
