the gharib nawaz madrasa is an educational project to be initiated in the city of ajmer in rajasthan from the inspiration of the Sufi sanctuary of ajmer.
A work that had began as a creative insight, has finally materialized into action . In a sufficiently spaced area, a little before the actual village, situated on the main road there is a large hall, a kitchen and a large veranda on two sides, used as a space for communication. The other structure is a mud-house, celebrating the rural mud building technology as ancient as mankind, constructed near
ly 6 years ago, maintained a few years; a pottery wheel established with a small kiln, a stone grinder for preparing a glass glaze. Some work was initialized and the first set of glazed pottery and toys, was left in its partially successful state, presently in process of restoration. With a couple of paid helpers along with myself and Raees, a street lad of 16 year or so, we have been restoring the pottery workshop. The proposed grass roof needs to be mounted and simultaneously get Potter master to reinstall the Wheel, work up some clay, and make the bigger kiln for a required temperature. This become a great chance for demonstrable learning for all present as well as the children from the village that join us on an informal bases, mostly in an age group of 5-18 . The above project was discontinued for unavoidable circumstances. The proposal is for another elaborate project based on similar thoughts within the same city of Ajmer.
