Barefoot College Campus

Bhanwar Jat, an illiterate famer from Tilonia was given the responsibility to construct the 30,000 square feet college campus. Working along with 12 other "barefoot architects", it took three years for them to complete the campus (1986-1989). Only low-cost building materials were used: no cement, no wood, only plywood (hard board), lime, sand, chipped rock and stone.

Rafiq, a village blacksmith,fabricated the doors, frames and windows. Using Buckminister Fuller's design, he fabricated and installed over 50 geodesic domes out of scrap metal, to be used as schools, dispensaries, telephone booths, community centres, and meeting places for village women.

The design of the campus was made by Neehar Raina and the barefoot architects constructed the whole campus.
