[1] The potters are currently using downdraft, low temperature kilns that are fabricated locally. Intervention is required for improvised kilns with fire bricks
of special quality, insulation to optimize the preservation of heat and reaching to optimum temperature that is essential for glaze pottery. Specialists, from
the field, have been consulted who will be charging Rs. 25000-30000, as consultancy fee for designing each kiln.
[2] Depending upon the design and insulation required there are two kinds of kilns that have been taken into consideration. Each can reach upto
temperatures of 1050˚c and 1280˚c, respectively.
[3] Traditional Kilns need to be improved using special quality brick and bonding material.
[4] Cost of construction Rs. 2,50,000 + 6 potters’ wheels Rs. 30,000 + 1 improved kiln Rs. 90,000.
[5] 350’ deep tube-well, 6” boring & piping, pumps, 10,000 ltrs. overhead tanks, 25,000 ltrs. underground/ground storage, filtration unit with accessories,
costs included.
[6] Total village roads, including by-lanes (1950-say 2000 mtrs. @ Rs. 350 = Rs. 700,000), transportation to main sewerage (total length 300 mtrs @ Rs.
700 = Rs. 210,000)
[7] Catchments unit of each household, (ranging from 100-250 sq. yards), underground storage, recharging of water that will improve local groundwater
level eventually @ Rs. 10,000 per household. 50 households to be covered initially.
[8] Recycled drain-water (partial) could be used for soaking of mud by potters. 50 households to be covered.
[9] The new Potters’ Wheels (50 @ Rs. 5000) which will be provided, will be of improvised version, electrical motorized operated with speed controller
having special quality material, lighter surface but hard base.

[1] Designer would be of NIFT/ NID background.
[2] In addition to design workshop that will be for 15 days each, 1 NIFT designer is required to be engaged in the 2nd year
for working with the potters to supervise constant monitoring and regular design development.
Outcome of the Project
• Special efforts will be made to form the potters into SHGs and create
common facilities for the potters so that larger community
participation is ensured.
• Continuation of the craft activities
• Waste-water management and availability of safe drinking water
• Minimal migration by ensuring better economic opportunities
• Training facilities for younger generation & up-gradation of skills of the
potters
• Usage of better techniques for production by technological
intervention
• Constant innovation in designs as per market trends and market
intelligence
• Capacity building and Formation of self help groups (SHGs)
• Entrepreneurship development and involving potters in group
productivity
• Intervention of banks and other FIs to make the potters microfinance
friendly
• Organizing regular marketing events and involving the potters in the
existing and continuing marketing events
