Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Nirmal, Telangana
The site is located in Nirmal ,Telangana.
Site area : 15.5 Acres
Background and context
The concept of establishing a Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) in every district of India originates from the National Education Policy of 1986, which aimed to combine academic excellence with social justice. After Telangana was formed in 2012, the number of districts in the state increased from 9 to 33 by 2016, creating a gap between the current number of JNVs and the desired target. JNVs are designed to identify talented children in rural areas and provide them with an education equivalent to the best boarding schools, regardless of their family's socioeconomic status. Funding for educational activities, boarding, and overall operations is provided by the Ministry of Education, Government of India, ensuring that students receive free education for a seven-year period.

ART AND CRAFT VILLAGE
Fusion of Urban and Village Craftsmanship
Set in KONA, HOWRAH, this project integrates urban vibrancy with village vernacular through a contextually sensitive master plan. The metalware and earthenware production clusters are consolidated into a shared resource zone centered around a communal furnace, optimizing operational efficiency. Peripheral fabric and leather workshops, arranged along an articulated streetscape, evoke the dynamic atmosphere of a traditional market. A central public plaza functions as a spatial node, incorporating a souvenir shop and performance stage to activate the core program. The northeast features a guest house with a carefully designed privacy gradient, while a strategically zoned food court in the northwest facilitates smooth circulation and logistics. Overall, the design employs thoughtful massing, materiality, and landscape integration, creating a cohesive dialogue between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary spatial dynamics.
Entry View Where There Is Small Water Pool Which Fell Like Walking On Water.
Extended Entry View Where There Is Small Water Pool And Parking
The Metal Ware And Earthen Ware Units Are Arranged Closer Such That They Can Share A Common Furnace. The Traditional Fabric Units And Leather Ware Are Arranged Along The Periphery Which Will Give The Feel Of Street Marketing Or Rather The Village Market Feel.
This Is The Place Where People Enjoy Food And Take Rest
