At its core, Design Jatra is a large community of architects, architecture students, tribal artisans, tribal youth interested in self-development and sustainable practices, and various natural builders in the state of Maharashtra. All these elements of the Design Jatra community work together in the many realms of its practice. Quite often, there is a need for innovative and creative external inputs in order to boost the work that each of these entities are doing. These creative boosts come from Design Jatra’s community workshops and internship programs.

Until now, such programs have facilitated ingenious product designs for our Tokar initiative as well as designs and innovations to transform the traditional ‘Chulha’. They have also helped in enhancing the participatory solution-generating process in the village of Veti Murbad while providing creative insights into the designing of our community seed bank as well as in the documentation of rice farming carried out by the village community.
