Anudesh Saini, Goresh Saini, Jaya Verma, Vivek Sehgal

Abstract


Qila Raipur is one of the most celebrated villages of India. Popularly known as India’s Rural Olympics, the village has been taking pride in organizing, hosting and showcasing Rural Sports Festival every year since 1933. But the village has lost its charm ever since The Supreme Court of India banned Bullock-Cart races in India. Further, mob mentality to migrate to western countries have depleted the cultural aspect of the settlement. This paper is a critical study of current conditions of Qila Raipur village that includes heritage, physical and social infrastructure. On the basis of observation, photography, reconnaissance and public opinion surveys; to protect the legacy that lies in its rich cultural heritage and to promote the tourism, rural renewal through design proposals and strategies were recommended.
