Kendriya vidyalaya, Malad - Universal design approach
(AIKTC, 2015-04) Ambe, Sonam; Chougle, Ambarin
A school, as an institution, leaves a deep imprint on the young developing minds and therefore school is chosen as my thesis topic. Inclusion is the need of the hour and it is the law, that all students should receive equal education. A school has a direct impact on the development and the understanding of a child. It is responsible for the physical, emotional, mental, social, cultural and intellectual development of a child. Campus environments are places where structured teaching and learning takes place and one can benefit from this. An inclusive school will provide opportunities for all physically disabled children to participate in education along with the non- disabled children in the mainstream school. Since the disabled students deprive the societal acceptance at the tender age, and are look down upon creating a sense of fear of socializing. We need to remove this stigma from the society and encourage an open mindset through the children in school. This school will help the children grow up socially and achieve a sense of independence and will polish their skills in various vocational trainings. All the existing structures in the society do not always meet the needs of every individual. The universality in the design of the structure is not seen. It is either done on a temporary basis or the versatility of the humans is ignored. The statement ‘Architecture is an art in combination with technology used to satisfy the human needs’ is in context to all kinds of human beings. So, my design thesis will be catering to the human diversity. According to the data in Mumbai Human Development report 2009, section elementary education, most of the illiteracy is seen in the lower class people and there almost negligible schools in the city that cater to the disabled children in a lower level schools, my school will be a municipal school which will be universally designed.

Upliftment of Panvel vegetable market
(AIKTC, 2017-04) Wadawalkar, Prajakta; Mhatre, Kshitija Manojkumar
Market plays a vital role for the traders as well as the people around. It is a common platform for buyers and sellers. In a wholesale market, the goods come from different parts of the state. It is equally important for local farmers whose produce is dealt in the market. Market is unique in its own way. Market hours begin with early morning and end till the goods get sold. The duration of market differs from place to place as well as it depends upon the commodity which is to be dealt. The market is located in Panvel. Market begins at midnight and shuts by afternoon, after which the market remains unused. This research aims at re-planning the market with respect to its function, services, hygiene and circulation. Also, planning an additional activity that will be carried out after the market hours which can keep the market alive after regular hours. Such plugging activity would invite other residents to the area and also would improve interaction.
Modernization of deonar abattoir
(AIKTC, 2017-04) Mhatre, Raj; Bombaywala, Muhammad Hassaan Raza (12ARC03)
A review of the slaughterhouses in use today shows that new techniques are required to solve the various issues that they are currently facing, which include environmental problems, religious and social conflicts, health hazards, unsystematic management, etc. The review is based on various case studies that were analyzed so as to provide them with the best possible solutions for development and improvisation. The concept of abattoirs (slaughterhouses) has been studied from scratch, right from the history of slaughterhouses, as to how they came into being, why they were needed, how they developed and how they are currently, to the lowdown of the global meat industry and the Indian meat industry. Owing to varying contexts, the meat industry in India and abroad has numerous differences, though they were rooted from the same seeds. A study between the two depicts the level of improvement that needs to be achieved in India.
Wild flower conservation centre at Kaas
(AIKTC, 2017-04) Modak, Minal; Sayyed, Navreen (12ARC29)
Biodiversity is essential for maintaining the ecologicalfunctions, including stabilizing of the water cycle, maintenance and replenishmentof soil fertility, pollination and cross-fertilization of crops and other vegetation,protection against soil erosion and stability of food producing and other ecosystems. Conservation of biological diversity leads to conservation of essentialecological diversity to preserve the continuity of food chains.Biodiversity provides the base for the livelihoods. Had William Wordsworth visited Kaas, the words would still be the same… I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. There exists an extremely pristine ecosystem around 25 kms from Satara. Nestled in the Sahayadri Mountains, this place is known as the Kaas plateau. It is home to a few life forms– found no where else in the world- they are endemic to Kaas. Till very recently, they had all peacefully habited the surrounding hills and plateaus. But suddenly, the scientific community observed that every year during the Indian Monsoons, the land became covered with innumerable tiny flowering plants.Kaas plateau has its endemic value through years. Kaas is ground for more than 250 flowering species which has its botanical impotance. This flowers proves very new and essential for Botanical studies, therefore it is important to conserve and research on such species. About all the flowering plants on kaas 6% are added to red data book and the site is registered under UNESCO World heritage site. . It was only in June 2012 when the UNESCO declared Kaas as a world heritage site that it got recognition and tourists started pouring in. With tourism came problems of overcrowding which eventually led to destruction of its flora. Though the government of Maharashtra is taking preventive measures to preserve the endangered species, the lack of knowledge among the people creates problems.

Agricultural research and awareness centre
(AIKTC, 2017-04) Shaikh, Riyaz; Shaikh, Shaikh, Muhammed Juned Aslam (11ARC29)
Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy which plays the most decisive role in the socioeconomic development of the country. Indian agriculture is a miscellaneous and extensive sector involving a large number of actors. India has one of the largest and institutionally most complex agricultural research systems in the world. The agricultural research system in India includes some 27,500 scientists and more than one lakh supporting staff actively engaged in agricultural research, which makes it probably the largest research system in the world. Historically, the Indian agricultural research system is the zenith of a process which started in the 19th century and which resulted in the establishment of the Imperial (now Indian) Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) on the recommendation of a Royal Commission on Agriculture in 1929. In the present research system, the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) at the National level mainly aids, promotes and coordinates research and education activities in the country. The development of agricultural research system in India, ever since the colonial era till today, is being tried to trace in the paper. An attempt has been made to portray the role of Five Year Plans regarding investment, technology transfer and other aspects related to agricultural development in India. Although agriculture has been playing the most vital role in Indian economy, during the course of the study, it has been observed that not much emphasis has been given to the history of evolution of agricultural research in India

Digital architecture: A revolutionary approach
(AIKTC, 2017-04) Mhatre, Raj; Jain, Siddharth (13ARC12)
Digital architecture with its significant applications have been a catalyst in changing the way we live and aspire to. The term “Digital Architecture” has been coined by William Gibson in 1984. Many firms all over the world have been practising, experimenting and researching in this field, but all are in silo’s. Based on discussions and talks with experts in the field we might infer that many institutes started experimenting and adding this field as a post graduation program, but very few excelled, but many were shut down because they were not able to produce practical output. The main reason behind shutting the programs were that everyone started a program in the existing college of architecture where most of them had it like an extension to their existing programs.
