PROBLEMS ON SITE AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Painting increases the value of pots by a great margin, but there aren’t places within the site that help in painting of the pots hence the potters are forced to send their pots to other places to get it painted.

Less number of outdated kilns on site doesn't allow for many potters to make pots simultaneously thus reducing production
Workshops To teach painting of pots to the people of the place so that the potters don’t have to get it painted from far off places.
Auroville has used rammed earth construction to build structures. this construction method can be used and adopted. Clay/ pottery work can be used at the metro as a landmark to identify the place and murals can be painted to depict the history of the site thus attracting more tourists
Not enough storage space for pots. Vendors do not have enough space to showcase their work hence stack the pots over each other or place it on the roof overhangs
Providing more number of modern kilns in the site to allow the people to increase production. some kilns that can be introduced are: Electric kilns: kilns operated by electricity were developed in the 20th century, primarily for smaller scale use such as in schools, universities, and hobby centers. The atmosphere in most designs of electric kiln is rich in oxygen, as there is no open flame to consume oxygen molecules. However, reducing conditions can be created with appropriate gas input, or by using saggars in a particular way.
Creating sufficient storage spaces for storing pots and other materials without having clutter. Creating exhibition spaces for vendors to showcase their work
Using sustainable materials within the site will help with the development of the site as well as the further understanding of the material which would be beneficial to the potters. The development of the metro would further improve the economy of the site.
Since clay is a prominent material in the area clay cseb can be used along with lime stabilization..
