For the implementation of a Foundation Project by IFA that will engage fourth to eighth grade students of the Patel Motilal Thakur Memorial School (PMTM), run by Maruti Shiksha Avam Samaj Kalyan Samiti, in Hatpipliya, Ratlam district. This 15-month project titled Malv Mati Gahan Gambhir Dag-Dag Roti Pag-Pag Nir reflects the deep cultural heritage and self-sustaining nature of the Malwa region, where tradition, knowledge, and resources are deeply ingrained in everyday life. The project aims to draw from this rich cultural foundation to innovate in classroom teaching by integrating the Malvi language, traditional art, and community knowledge. The outcome of the project will be a series of performances, exhibitions and a multilingual dictionary (Malvi-Hindi-English). The Project Coordinator’s deliverables to IFA with the final report will be a copy of the publication, photographs, and video documentation of the entire project. Project funds will pay for workshop, publication, travel and living, contract fees, documentation, stationary and materials and communication.
