Tankshal
today stands complete in all its splendor. The project also incorporates
the traditional water harvesting system using the old underground
water tank, and modern filteration techniques. This will illustrate
the childeren the importance of harvesting water in the indian
subcontinent.
The project
is crucial in the revitalization of the old walled city of Ahmedabad.
The project due to several difficulties legal and others has taken
three years for completion. It is not a one man project, as it
had always been the project of the Ahmedabad Heritage Centre.
The entire project has been funded by the Embassy of France in
India.
NOTE
:
From September 2005, as a memeber of the Ahmedabad Heritage Centre
team, I was offered the complete charge of the project. The project
saw its completion in April 2006. Two other names should also
be mentioned here, those of Mr. Pierre Cadot (the spearhead),
and Miss Khushi Shah, who are integral participants of the following
project along with all the other memebers of the team.
