Breaking the walls | Bridging the communities together

This research was conducted to learn more about the activities of the various communities that make up the Saraspur precinct. In understanding the different community groups, the Chartoda community, the marginalized mixed community, and the Gujarat housing community, that lies east of Chartoda Kabristan in Saraspur, not only are the communities surrounded by religious walls but also the inter-community turns out to have a physical wall that bounds around them. This realization led to the vision statement through one question. How to break through these walls?  The research then has moved in this direction with various strategies and programs.
