ANNEXURE 1 Objective – Main objective of present experimental work is to find the behaviour of defected beams and to compare them with standard beam which has no defect.

Testing procedure – The testing was carried out from 28th February to 7th March. First identification of defected beams was done and than one standard beam was selected which was not having any defects. Two wooden platforms were prepared for support of dial gauges. A steel metal base was fixed on wooden platform for each dial gauge for its magnetic base fixing. For smooth and flat contact surface between wooden beam and dial gauge tip, a plate was fixed at bottom of wooden beam with the help of M-seal. Loading was done using sand/mud bags. Weight of each bag was 50kg. Loading was done as uniformly distributed load. Load was applied gradually and readings were taken for a pre decided loading interval. Beams were loaded for 24hrs and 48hrs. Unloading also was done gradually and readings were taken while unloading and 6hrs after unloading.

Section details for standard beam and defected beams were same.

Cross section – 120×150mm.

Length – 3.28m.

Section details for transverse beam:-

Cross section – 200×220mm.

Length – 2.80m.

Standard beam

Location: -In room next to display room (just inside of North East verandah) and next to column.

Area for loading = 3.28×1.4 = 4.592m2.

Applied load = 4.592×200 = 918.4 kg. Say 900kg.

Critical locations for dial gauge reading = Centre, 0.3m, 0.7m, 1m (from support).

Location: - In hall next to meditation hall (just inside of South East verandah) and next to column. Area for loading = 3.28×1.4 = 4.592m2. Applied load = 4.592×200 = 918.4 kg. Say 900kg. Critical locations for dial gauge reading = Centre, 0.3m, 0.7m, 1m (from support). Types of damage seen:

 Long crack seen at mid depth (side face) for full beam length  This crack was repaired for a length from 0.7 m from support to almost the end of the other support. This was done by inserting a wooden sliver with fevicol or some adhesive. So the crack is a full span crack with about 0.7 m of it still open and the rest repaired. A small open part of this crack also exists at the other support side

Standard beam

The length of the standard beam is 3.28. This is, however, the span which is the clear span. The effective span is typically more than this. Assuming that the bearing has an additional span of d on both sides, the effective span becomes 3.28 + 2*d which for a d of 150 mm works out to a total of 3.58 m. For this beam, the locations of instrumentation work out to as per the following table. The load is applied on only the clear span and this is done in a numerical model and the relative displacement values are compared with the experimental averaged results. The averaging is only done for the cases where the central displacement is greater than 1 mm as for lower values, the least count of the measurement may not give accurate results.

So, for the standard beam it can be seen that the experimental values give very good correlation with the expected numerical results. The numerical model is made assuming a homogenous cross section. Some small variability is to be expected as the loads aren’t expected to be exactly the same across the beam, although full care has been taken to ensure this. These variations under these circumstances can be considered to correlate excellently with the expected results.

So the shape of the beam under loading can be estimated as being almost the same as is expected from an undamaged beam.

Analysis of the centre deflection with respect to the load is given in the following table

The load removal gave 95% of the value back – which indicates that the beam is in excellent condition. For a maximum value of deflection of 3.81 mm, for the beam under consideration for the applied load of 900 kg over a 3.28 meter span or an udl of 274.39 kg/m or 2.69 kN/m, the deflection for the numerical standard beam, assuming the estimate of E as 12 GPa is 14 mm. The computed value being much smaller indicates a strong composite action between the beam and the roof above it. This indicates a good connectivity which exists in the system.

Damaged beam - 1

The length of the damaged beam – 1is 3.28. This is, however, the span which is the clear span. The effective span is typically more than this. Assuming that the bearing has an additional span of d on both sides, the effective span becomes 3.28 + 2*d which for a d of 150 mm works out to a total of 3.58 m.

So, for this it can be seen that the experimental values do not give a very good correlation with the expected numerical results. The numerical model is made assuming a homogenous cross section. Some small variability is to be expected as the loads aren’t expected to be exactly the same across the beam, although full care has been taken to ensure this. The variations in shape seem to lie outside the bounds of accuracy for the damaged beam.

The computed value being much smaller indicates a strong composite action between the beam and the roof above it. This indicates a good connectivity which exists in the system.

Damaged beam - 2

The length of the damaged beam – 2 is 3.28. This is, however, the span which is the clear span. The effective span is typically more than this. Assuming that the bearing has an additional span of d on both sides, the effective span becomes 3.28 + 2*d which for a d of 150 mm works out to a total of 3.58 m.

The load removal gave 99% of the value back – which indicates that the beam is in an overall good condition.

For a maximum value of deflection of 3.87 mm, for the beam under consideration for the applied load of 900 kg over a 3.28 meter span or audl of 274.39 kg/m or 2.69 kN/m, the deflection for the numerical standard beam, assuming the estimate of E as 12 GPa is 14 mm. The computed value being much smaller indicates a strong composite action between the beam and the roof above it. This indicates a good connectivity which exists in the system.

Damaged beam - 3

The length of the damaged beam – 3 is 3.28. This is, however, the span which is the clear span. The effective span is typically more than this. Assuming that the bearing has an additional span of d on both sides, the effective span becomes 3.28 + 2*d which for a d of 150 mm works out to a total of 3.58 m. For this beam, the locations of instrumentation work out to as per the following table.

The load removal gave 100 % of the value back – which indicates that the beam is in an overall good condition. The small additional deflections of 0.17 mm are within the expected measurement error and should not be considered as giving more than the displaced value.

For a maximum value of deflection of 2.5 mm, for the beam under consideration for the applied load of 900 kg over a 3.28 meter span or audl of 274.39 kg/m or 2.69 kN/m, the deflection for the numerical standard beam, assuming the estimate of E as 12 GPa is 14 mm. The computed value being much smaller indicates a strong composite action between the beam and the roof above it. This indicates a good connectivity which exists in the system.

Conclusions

After all the testing, it can be seen that most of the beams are in fairly good condition. In some cases the damage is evident where the displaced shape is different from the expected one. In all these cases, however, since the load is giving a full recovery against the displacement, it can be inferred that there isn’t any plastic deformation under the service load conditions. This indicates that the condition of the beams – while in some cases being fairly different from ideal conditions – is still adequate for the loading being applied. For the beams where there is a significant difference from the ideal values, a careful monitoring should be done to ensure that there are no development of cracks or damages in the future. In the event of such happening, immediate actions should be initiated to counter such events.

ANNEXURE 2 Biodiversity Workshops in Bisoi

OBJECTIVE

The key objecve for conducng the workshops was to build relaon with the local community/villagers, to gain their support for the ease of the project. The workshops included making “people’s biodiversity register” and it has been decided to undertake a total of six number of acvies a year, every alternate month, in order to extract the most informaon.

HOW WAS THE WORKSHOP SETUP?

In 2019, three workshops have been organized. The workshops were conducted with the help of Mr Digambar Chauhan, an inﬂuenal local person, who helped in communicang and building the relaon with the local community. The team had been trying to interact with the community since April 2016.

PRE-WORKSHOP

As a part of the preparaon for the workshop, one of the team members visits the village 2-3 days prior to the workshop to brief the locals regarding the same. Before every workshop, the team member visits each and every household for invitaons.

It was advised by the member of the local community to contact Siyana Ji, head of the village, to convince people for aending the workshop. The me of the workshop is generally decided on the date of the workshop as per the convenience and availability of the community.

INTRODUCTION

Every workshop has at least one Ecology and Biodiversity expert, who gives a brief of the workshop to the people.

As a part of the acvity, a large group of people was divided into 3 smaller groups who had to idenfy the various vegetables, pulses, spices, grains, oilseeds and fruits etc. in the area.

PARTICIPANTS FROM THE COMMUNITY

Kamlesh Ji, Mimo Devi, Chuma Devi, Naaro Devi, Vanshika, S hobha Devi, Lakshmi, Sunita Chouhan, Kinto Devi, Shivani Devi, Beena Devi, J agat Singh Chauhan, Anand singh Chauhan, Veer Singh Chauhan, Mahender Singh Chauhan

WORKSHOP DELIVERABLES

As a part of the workshop, only the names of the plants/vegetables were idenﬁed. For converng the informaon gathered during the workshop into processed charts format, provided by Mr Parth Bapat, addional informaon was required.

Subheads of the processed chart are as follows:

1. Name of the Vegetable 2. Name of the Plant 3. Parts eaten 4. Season 5. Locaon 6. Availability 7. Last Eaten 8. Any Other Informaon

Ms Samragee Paul and Ms. Shambhavi Pandey, IIT Roorkee Team, gathered the required data from the local community in the following two days and compiled the chart. Following are compiled chart of all the informaon collected through these workshops in last year. VEGETABLES

ANNEXURE 3 Site Visit Report – Bisoi 20th May 2019 to 27th May 2019

The report documents the overall information and data obtained from Measured Drawing Documentation of Mr. Digamber Chouhan residence which was carried out in Bisoi during the site visit from 20th May 2019 to 27th May 2019.

The objectives of the visit was to obtain the accurate measurement that reflects the existing state of the building and to also document the techniques used to construct such buildings.

The team was required to produce more number of sections, elevations, detail connection and existing joinery details of each column, beam and planks with numbering on each of them which helps the team and craftsmen to conserve and restore the building in an optimal way.

The drawing documentation covers the entire measurement from corners to edges in order to obtain and produce accurate dimension of each and every single spaces of the building.

ANNEXURE 5 1. Karigarshala, Bhuj (05.06.2019 – 18.06.2019)

1.1 Objective

The key objective for conducting the craftsmen training was to polish the traditional skills of the existing craftsmen, who are already practicing in the area, so that the live model for the project can also be completed in time. The training aimed at covering all the traditional techniques used for the construction using both modern and traditional tools.

1.2 About

Karigarshala, a non-governmental/private institute in Bhuj, Gujarat, was established in 2011 for training of drop out students (16-22 yrs old) in skills like carpentry, construction of different style of walls, plumbing, electrical etc. Mr Kiran Vaghela, co-founder of Karigarshala, was contacted by IIT Roorkee team for conducting a handicraft training program for the project National Mission for Himalayan region, with the intention of generating livelihood opportunities for the local people.

08.06.2019

Mr. Shubham, team IIT Roorkee, visited Bhuj along with two craftsmen Mr. Vinesh Negi and Mr. Yashpal Singh from Bisoi, Uttarakhand for a period of 2 weeks to polish the traditional skills and to have an insight of the institute and plan the way forward with Mr Kiran Vaghela as karigarshala is currently practicing a similar format of generating employment sources for the dropout kids from the rural areas by training them. How was the craftsman training setup?

The training was conducted with the help of Mr. Atul Vyas Bhai (Coordinator) and Mr. Vasant Rajesh Maheswari (Faculty), Karigarshala, Bhuj, who helped in communicating and coordinating the relation with the craftsmen. The team of Karigarshala, Bhuj had tried their best to make the craftsmen understand the importance of each and every tools and techniques used for the construction of any traditional building.

1.3 Introduction

The training commenced with a brief introduction, given by Mr Kiran Vaghela, Co-founder Karigarshala, Bhuj. The expert faculty gave the basic introduction of each and every tool available with them during the session. Later the craftsmen started the session by understanding the safety measures and precaution which should be adopted while working with different tools. During the sessions the craftsmen work on different tools for understanding their uses. The craftsmen had also tried to carve the fresh wooden members and produce a numbers of circular designs while doing the practice. Apart from understanding the tools they have also learned how to minimize and reduce the amount of wood in construction using different traditional techniques.

Joinery is a part of woodworking that involves joining together pieces of wood , to produce more complex items. Some wood joints employ fasteners, bindings, or adhesives, while others use only wood elements. The characteristics of wooden joints - strength, flexibility, toughness, appearance, etc. - derive from the properties of the materials involved and the purpose of the joint. Therefore, different joinery techniques are used to meet differing requirements. For example, the joinery used to construct a house can be different from that used to make puzzle toys, although some concepts overlap. Many traditional wood joinery techniques use the distinctive material properties of wood, often without resorting to mechanical fasteners or adhesives.

During the training sessions the craftsmen have hand on different joinery details which includes Butt joints, Lap joints, Dovetail joints, Biscuit joints, Tenon and Mortise, Cross lap etc. A biscuit joint is a woodworking tool used to join two pieces of wood together. It uses a small circular saw blade to cut a crescent-shaped hole in the opposite edges of two pieces of wood or wood composite panels. An oval-shaped, highly dried and compressed wooden biscuit is covered with glue, or glue is applied in the slot. The biscuit is immediately placed in the slot, and the two boards are clamped together. The wet glue expands the biscuit, further improving the bond. They have also learned the easy way to make the joints in huge amount using different modern tools and traditional techniques

On June 19, 2019 our research team from IIT Roorkee, consisting of Lalita Waldia(Project associate), Poonam Gamit(Research Associate) and Haritya Shah(Intern) departed at about 10:30 a.m. from Roorkee in a private taxi for Munsyari. Along the way, we stopped for lunch at a highway restaurant near Kashipur at around 4:00 p.m.We reached Bhimtal at around 8:00p.m., found a hotel and halted there for the night. Day 2 – June 20, 2019

We left Bhimtal early in the morning at about 6:00 a.m.towards Munsyari. At about 12:30 p.m. out taxi broke down sometime after crossing Sheraghat. We shifted to local transport. From there we found a taxi to thal, then to munsyari. We reached Munsyari at about 8:00 p.m., met our homestay host, Hirma Sumtiyal, had dinner and then to bed. Day 3 – June 21, 2019

After waking up at 7:00 a.m., freshening up and having breakfast, at around 10:00 a.m., we met Kamla di. She led us to the office of Malika Virdi up on the mountain. There we had a meeting with her, of which a short synopsis is written below, and members of Maati Sangathan regarding our work and stay in Sarmoli for the next six days.

Meeting Synopsis

Our meeting commenced with introduction of everyone present, including us. Then Mallika ji gave a brief of three of her initiatives.

1. Sarmoli Jainti Van Panchayat- She is currently the Sarpanch. Home Stays were initiated in 2004 through this Institution. 2. Maati Sangathan- she is founder member. A lot of women who are members of Maati also run Home Stays and are guides with Himalayan Ark. 3. Himalayan Ark- She is Director and though which the Home Stays are run. 4. Himal Prakriti- A Trust for Nature- She is Managing Trustee. This trust supports activities that strengthen natural resource based livelihoods, including the Home Stays and Nature guides. It is through Himal Prakriti that we will be collaborating with RHH.

She moved on to describe the challenges faced during the implementation of her initiatives, how the local people had lost their interaction with nature, how they were reluctant to participate in homestays, etc. But through the afore mentioned initiatives, the local people in Munsiari region, over the years re- established their relationship with nature with a different approach and eventually it decreased the out- migration rate. They not only relied on farming for income but started exploring new ways such as homestays, high altitude trekking guide, bird watching etc. And so the locals along with Mallika ji developed a sustainable ecosystem as we now know. 21.06.2019

Figure 2 Meeting with Malika Virdi and members of Maati Sangathan (Credits – Poonam)

Coming to the main agenda for the meet, we discussed the following points –  Documentation and at - length study of two traditional homestays present in sarmoli, Munsyari tehsil, in order to understand their design and construction detail.  Where in and around Sarmoli we can find traditional houses with carvings and motifs.  To visit all the homestays in this region and figure out what elements (carvings on doors and windows, etc.) could be added to give them a traditional aesthetic.  Visit the tribal museum and study the preserved patterns, motifs, carving present there.  How to go about the designing process after studying. For this we proposed two or three ideas and collectively agreed that a design studio would be conducted in this region with architectural students and the panel would also contain locals. This would benefit us as we would be able to gather their viewpoints on the proposed design and for the locals, they would get accustomed to the process of designing and learn to apply it by themselves in the future.

21.06.2019

Figure 3 Hira Toliya's House (Credits – Lalita)  At the end of the of our trip, present to the locals what we learnt in the past few days and thus keep them in the loop. After that we proceeded to Hira Toliya’s house, made in vernacular style architecture with one room dedicated to homestays. With her permission, we started documenting the house. In evening, we came back to our room. After having delicious tea served by our host and enjoying the view for some time, we got back to work. Two of us, Poonam and Lalita, started drafting plans and sections of Hira’s house in AutoCAD. At about 8:00 p.m., we were called for dinner. For dinner we were served a freshly prepared home-cooked meal. Later in the night, we planned out our activities for next day and then went to bed. Day 4 – June 22, 2019

After freshening up and having breakfast, we started our day at about 9:00 a.m. As planned the earlier day, we divided all 18 homestays among ourselves and started visiting them. For 13 of them we successfully collected information as to when did they start homestays, how old is their house, etc. We

also photographed their houses, elevation and details of windows, doors and any other unique/traditional feature. In the second half, after having lunch, Poonam andLalita studied motifs, and sketched elevations and detailed section of doors and windows of Hira’s house, while Haritya compiled the data collected on homestays. Poonam and Lalita also looked for motifs in other houses in Sarmoli. But unfortunately most of the houses in Sarmoli have been constructed recently, so they couldn’t find

After lunch, all of us went to Hira’s house and completed all the remaining site work needed to prepare AutoCAD drawings of Hira’s house. Poonam and Lalita also studied and sketched all motifs present in Hira’s house. We wound up all our work at site by 6:00 p.m. and came back to our room. After that, Poonam and Lalita worked on the sketches and on AutoCAD plans till dinner, while Haritya compiled data of the remaining 5 Homestays which he surveyed in the morning. Day 6 – June 24, 2019

Waking up at about 7:00 a.m., freshening up and having breakfast, we started our day at about 9:00 in the morning. We decided collectively and went to visit the tribal heritage museum owned by Neema Pangtey’s family to study carvings and motifs preserved there. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to click detailed pictures of exhibits inside the museum, but allowed to click pictures of carved windows and doors of museum’s building. When we started to head back to our room, it started raining. Halfway through our walk, it started raining heavily so we had to stop at a local’s house for about an hour, till the rain stopped. After having lunch, we couldn’t go out to study more motifs and designs due to terrible weather. So Poonam and Lalita started working on design sketches. They made some pretty beautiful sketches. 24.06.2019

Day 7 – June 25, 2019

After getting ready, Lalita and Haritya went to Darkot, a nearby village 6 kilometers from Munsyari. Malika had suggested us to go there and study designs and motifs present there. Poonam stayed back at our room and continued sketching designs. In Darkot, Lalita and Haritya met Geeta Pangtey, who was our point of contact there. She guided them through the village to different houses having doors and windows with various beautiful designs inscribed upon them. After studying them and photographing them in detail, Lalita and Haritya headed back to Sarmoli, reaching Sarmoli at about 2:00 p.m. After resting for some time, Poonam and Lalita started sketching different designs while Haritya worked on the report. Day 8 – June 26, 2019

We left Sarmoli at 6:30 a.m. in the morning and reached Haldwani at 7:30 p.m. After having dinner, we left Haldwani at 10:30 p.m. for Haridwar, switched buses there and reached Roorkee at 6:30 a.m. on June 27, 2019. Characteristics of Traditional House – Munsyari 21.06.2019 A typical traditional house in Sarmoli would consists of two floors, ground floor for storage and animal shelter, and first floor as residence (see Fig. 3). The house is made up of stone with wooden rafters and planks for roofs and floors. Walls, 500 mm thick, are plastered with a layer of mud to give them a smooth finish and for insulation. Kitchen and toilet are made independent of the main house.

Ground floor is generally divided into 4 rooms out of which 3 are connected to the fourth one which in turn has a main entrance. This provides seamless access to all the rooms present on ground floor. Also one of the 3 side rooms may have a side entrance. All doors on the ground floor have raised Figure 6 Ground floor main sills in order to prevent contamination by water and filth. Walls of the ground floordoor (Creditsare raised – Poonam) to a height of about 1.8m.

First floor is also divided into 4 rooms having the same plan of rooms as on the ground floor. 3 of these

All bedrooms are properly ventilated with at-least one window. Windows and doors present all over the house contain intricate carvings known as likhai. Double panel windows are known as Dodari tyapri and three panel windows are known as Tridyari tyapri.

Figure 16 First floor roof showing cross rafters and main rafter (Credits – Poonam)

Ground floor roof consists of main rafters layered with cross rafters on top of it. Wooden planks are layered on the cross rafters which in turn would act as flooring for the first floor. For the main pitched roof 6 to 7 main wooden rafters would support cross rafters, which would support wooden planks. On top of these planks, slates would be layered out for weather proofing and protection. But due to high maintenance of slate, people have started using tin roofs which have longer life and are easy to handle. Tin is directly layered on top of cross rafters eliminating the need for wooden planks. The overhangs of roofs are supported by a layer of corbels (Gitti) placed at regular intervals. Tin gutters are placed at the end of roofs, attached to eaves for drainage. Conclusion

During our visit to Sarmoli we studied traditional architecture, designs and motifs prevalent in Munsyari region. After coming back to Roorkee, in the next 3 days, we completed all of the measurement drawings and sketches which were to be prepared. All designs of carvings and motifs collected during our visit to Sarmoli where properly sketched and studied. They, in the future, will be used to design carvings on doors and windows of Homestays through a design studio to be held in Sarmoli by our team.

ANNEXURE 8

ANNEXURE 9 Site visit to Woodstock school (July 4, 2019 – July 13, 2019)

Objective: Main objective of this site visit was to do the preliminary survey of the high school building at Woodstock. This preliminary survey included the distress mapping and collecting data for preparing SketchUp model of the high school building in Woodstock school. This study will enable us to find and locate the major areas of distress and there extent and to understand the structural system of the building.

Introduction: Woodstock School is an international coeducational residential school located in Landour, a small hill station contiguous with the town of Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, India, in the foothills of the Himalayas. Woodstock is one of the oldest residential schools in Asia. Woodstock's campus covers more than 250 acres of protected forest on the foothills of the Himalaya. Situated between 2000 and 2300 metres (6500-7500 feet) above sea level on a south-facing slope, Woodstock School enjoys spectacular views over the Doon Valley, the Tehri Hills and the ancient Shivalik range. From its highest ridge one can view Himalayan snow peaks including the majestic Bandarpoonch peaks (6,316 m).

Location and Connectivity Woodstock School is located in Landour, a small hill station contiguous with the town of Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, India. It is located at 30°27′14″N and 78°6′3″E.

Flights from New Delhi to Dehradun depart three times a day in each direction and are run by Jet Airways, Spicejet and Air India. The Dehradun airport, Jolly Grant, is 25km east of Dehradun (about 70km/two hours’ drive from Mussoorie). Train is still the preferred way for most people to travel between Delhi and Dehradun. Travelling between Delhi and Mussoorie by car takes longer and is more difficult than train, but does offer flexibility in departure and arrival times.

Visit to Woodstock school A team of two members- Survesh Chetival and Lalita Waldia started from IIT Roorkee on 04 July, 2019. We reached Mussoorie at 11.30 am on same day and then arrangement was done by school management for reaching at Woodstock. Our staying arrangement was done at school’s guest houses.

Fig. 3: Image showing site plan of Woodstock school (High school building). On first day of our visit we met Mr. Raveesh Dogra. He guided us to high school building of which we have to do preliminary survey. Then on first day we did a visit to high school building to get an overall view of building. Next day we were joined by Dr. Sanjay Chikermane form IIT Roorkee. He first did a brief survey of the building to asses overall condition of building and to discuss the way ahead and to prepare a rough plan of work needs to be done during visit.

Then for next 8 days we did distress mapping of High school building and collected the data required for preparation of Sketch up model of building. In between these days one day we did distress mapping of Quad building also since arrangement for opening for documentation of roof truss of high school building was needed to be done.

Characteristics of High School Building- Woodstock High school building consist of total 6 floors named level -2, level -1, level 1, level 2, level 3 and level 4. The building construction was of load bearing stone masonry and reinforced cement concrete framed structure. The top roof consist of truss structure and then tin sheets covering it. The truss structure was made up of both wood and steel angles. Glass wool sheets were also provided below tin sheets for insulation purpose.

Plans of different levels:

Distress Mapping of High School Building

Distress mapping of any structure will enable us to find and locate the major areas of distress and there extent. Most of the times because of the ageing of building distress would appear in structures as a natural phenomenon. The one of the reason for distress during service is that the maintenance of the building is not done properly which results in deterioration/aging of materials and structural components leading to corrosion and cracking. For this study plans of the each floor of building were taken and areas of distress were detailed on it. Approximate width and length of cracks were also measured and reported. Photographs were taken and attached with their relevant location.

Fig.12: (a) Image showing cracks in wall at level 4 (b) Diagonal crack cutting through measonary. SketchUp model of High School Building SketchUp is a 3D modeling computer program which is used for a wide range of drawing applications such as architectural, interior design, landscape architecture, civil and mechanical engineering.

In our study we prepared a SketchUp model of high school building including structural elements of it. This enables us to understand the structural system of the high school building. For this work, plans of all the levels of high school building were provided by Woodstock school management. With use of those plans we did documentation of structural members and all openings present.

For documentation of Truss members sketches were prepared by Ms. Lalita Waldia and then used for preparation of SketchUp model.

Fig. 13: Rough sketch prepared for documentation of truss.

The old buildings of high school were having wooden truss except the auditorium. Comparatively new buildings which were RCC framed structure had steel truss.

Conclusion:

The main objective of this site visit was to do preliminary survey, Distress mapping and to make a SketchUp model of high school building at Woodstock. The preliminary survey has been done to assess the overall condition of building and distress report is submitted.

ANNEXURE 10 Documentation of Distress of High School building at Woodstock School

Objective: Main objective of present study is to do the distress mapping of the high school building in Woodstock school. This study will enable us to find and locate the major areas of distress and there extent.

Causes of Distress: Most of the times because of the ageing of building distress would appear in structures as a natural phenomenon. This natural distress is due to natural wear and tear. In the present days, the structures are subjected to very aggressive environment. The old structures which were constructed in non-aggressive environment and without any special preventive measure are now very badly affected due to gradual deterioration of the environment around them.

The one of the reason for distress during service is that the maintenance of the building is not done properly which results in deterioration/aging of materials and structural components leading to corrosion and cracking. Buildings or structures are damaged when they are subjected to extreme loading conditions like in earthquakes or storms or any addition of load for which they are not designed.

The structure will also show sign of distress if the building including the foundation is not properly designed and constructed or not properly maintained.

The structure would remain in its service for a long period only if during this long period there would be no addition, alteration and overloading of any member or part is done.

Procedure: For this study plans of the each floor of building were taken and areas of distress were detailed on it. Approximate width and length of cracks were also measured and reported. Photographs were taken and attached with their relevant location.

ANNEXURE 11 JAGRA FESTIVAL

Story of Mahasu Devta

Mahasu Devta has a strong religious affiliation in various regions of Uttarakhand/ Himanchal Pradesh. Mahasu Devta is considered to be the lord of justice, who is connected with the Jaunsar- Bawar region. The lord’s main temple is in Hanol, Chakrata. Mahasu Devta has four brothers namely, Baasik Mahasu, Bodha Mahasu, Pabasik Mahasu and Chalda Mahasu.

In the beginning of kalyug, there was a huge terror of demons in Uttarakhand region due to which everyone in the state were suffering. Out of all the demons kirmir was the most dangerous, who killed all the seven children of Hunabhat. Kirmir also had a bad eye of Kritika, wife of Hunabhat. Disturbed with Kirmir, Kritika started worshiping Lord Shiva, in return to which Lord Shiva took the eye sight of Kirmir. Hunabhat and Kritika were successful in saving their lives from Kirmir. In order to save their life and the lives of the people of Uttarakhand, Hunabhat and Kritika started praying Goddess Hathkeshwari. Goddess suggested the couple to go mountain of Kashmir and pray to Lord Shiva for the same. On the command of the goddess the couple went to Kashmir and started praying to Lord Shiva. Seeing the devotion of the couple, Lord Shiva assured them that they will soon be free from the tortures of these demons. Lord Shiva also told Hunabhat to go back to his land and pray to Goddess Shakti.

The couple came back to their place and did the same. Goddess Shakti asked them that They have to plough the fields with ploughs of gold and silver. The ox used for the ploughing should be the one which is never used for ploughing before. By doing this four Mahasu will appear with their ministers and army and they will free the place from the demons. The same happened and Uttarakhand was free from the demons.

Fig 1. Mahasu Devta Temple in Bisoi This is the historical story of Mahasu Devta in the region. In Bisoi there is the temple of Chalda Mahasu. People believe that an old lady from the village went to drink water from a common water spring in Bisoi, where she saw a snake. A pearl came out of snake's mouth and it went away. The lady took the pearl to her home and kept it. That night she had a dream that the pearl was not an ordinary pearl and is a symbol of lord. The village decided to make a temple to keep the pearl. Now the temple is of Chalda Mahasu. The family of the lady is Sayana’s of the village and are considered to be the guard of God. Jagra

Jagra festival is celebrated in all the temples of Mahasu in the region. In Bisoi it is celebrated mostly in the last week of September, date decided on the basis of astrology. It is a two-day festival in which all the 18 villages come to the Bisoi Temple to celebrate Jagra festival. For the two days a Bhandara is organized in the village which is hosted for all the people of the 18 villages. Around 8000 people come for the Bhandara. One person from the region hosts the Jagra Bhandara. Booking is done in advance for hosting the Bhandara. The Bhandara is already booked till 2036 and the next booking is open in 2037. For the whole night the event takes place.

Fig 2. Mahasu Devta idol taken out of the temple

This is the time when the Jhanki of Mahasu is taken out of the temple for everyone to see. They take the idol to the holy water stream and keep the Jhanki back to the temple. Everyone dances in the temple premises and for the whole night the event continues.

ANNEXURE 12 MEDICAL CAMP- BISOI 28t h a nd 29t h September 2019 Objecve

To understand the health structure of a community and to engage with the community.

The main objecve of organizing the medical camp in Bisoi was to idenfy the health of the village and to build a strong relaonship with them. While conducng the biodiversity workshops the project interacted with the community, but this interacon was restricted to interacng only with those who had knowledge about biodiversity. The project had to build relaons with the overall community and not just a few people, thus we started idenfying the needs that the village and the space where the project can ﬁt in. The project idenﬁed the need of medical assistance in the village and so, we decided to organize a medical camp for Bisoi and nearby villages. Pre-camp preparaon

The preparaon for the camp started from mid-august. The ﬁrst step was to interact with the community of Bisoi and get an opinion on organizing the medical camp in the village. The village approved the idea of medical camp and suggested that people from nearby villages should also be called for the camp as they also need the same. The major health issues were then idenﬁed for which the specialists were required. According to that we decided to connect with a General Physician, Ortho and eye specialist. Finally, we decided to have a medical camp for two days for total 18 villages as our target audience.

14-15th September 2019 Two team members, Shambhavi Pandey and Shubham went to Bisoi and nearby villages for promoon and pre-registraon to idenfy the expected number of paents in the camp and health issues exisng there. Two people, Mr. Ajendra Chauhan from Bisoi and Mr. Dile Ram Joshi from Nagthat, voluntarily came forward to do further registraon and take the promoons forward. The promoon was done mainly by distribung pamphlets and word of mouth.

Pic 1: Registraon Form (English and Hindi)

Pic 2: Pamphlet for adversement Registraon gave a sense of requirement of a denst, gynaecologist, and ENT specialist, based on the registered problems from the community. The doctors were targeted from the nearby places such as Chakrata, Dehradun and Haridwar, so that the follow up could be easy for the community. Mr. Digamber Chauhan, an influenal person from Bisoi, helped the project in idenfying the specialists and organize the camp. The doctors were finalized according to their interest, requirements, availability and their experience of medical camps. Below is the final list of doctors:

● General physician- Dr. Atul Alok, Dehradun ● ENT specialist- Dr. Vikram Sayana, Dehradun ● Orthopedic Surgeon- Rajnish Singh, Dehradun ● Denst- Dr. Shipra Chaturvedi, Haridwar ● Eye specialist- Dr. N.S.Jangpangi, Dehradun ● Gynecologist- Dr, Ar Chauhan, Chakrata

Two days were finalised for camp which were 28-29t h Sept 2019 according to availability of community and doctors. Permission was taken from CMO of Dehradun to conduct medical camp. Aer that we finalised two venues for camp, primary school and community hall. Logiscs, accommodaon and food for doctors and staff were taken care by project. General medicines were also taken care by project. Tests and consultancy were taken care by doctors.

26th September 2019,

Three people from the project, Shambhavi, Shubham and Poonam, visited Bisoi in order to make the required arrangements for the camp. The following arrangements for the medical undertaken were:

● Sing arrangement for doctors and staff ● Parking area near the temple was idenfied as the locaon for the registraon desk as it was between both camp locaons. ● Accommodaon for doctors and staff was organized in Nagthat which is 3kms away from Bisoi. ● Apart from these, banners, memento, cerficates and other requirements were taken care of.

ANNEXURE 13 Bisoi Wedding (Jojoda) Tradition

“य नाय त ु पूयते रमते त देवताः । यैतातु न पू यते सवाताफलाः याः ।।“ This is the belief of the community of Bisoi and Jaunsar, which means where women are honored, divinity blossoms there, and where women are dishonored, all action no matter how noble remain unfruitful. Their marriage tradition justifies their belief at every moment. The girl’s side is considered to be in the dominant position in the wedding. There is no concept of dowry here.

Pic 1. The bride and the groom with IIT team in Bisoi

The custom starts with the family of the girl and boy meeting each other and fixing the wedding. Initially, as per the tradition only the family used to meet, the boy and the girl did not see each other before the wedding. Now the tradition has changed, the girl and boy meets before finalizing the wedding.

Once the family, the boy and the girl are ready for the marriage, the next step is called “Bandhe ka Rupya”, wherein the groom side gives some money to the girl as Shagun which means finalizing the wedding. As per their ritual, this means the girl can’t marry anyone else now. If after this , the girl wants to marry someone else or runs away with someone then the village organize a committee. The other boy’s family need to compensate for the “Bandhe ka Rupya” given from the groom’s side to the girl. The girl then becomes the responsibility of the family where the girl is living.

Next comes the Kangniyada (engagement), where the boy’s family goes to the girl’s place and give jewelries to the girl. Here the boy is not allowed to go to the girl’s place. This custom is planned as per the astrology. The jewelries are put on girl only by ladies or any child who is less than 10-11 years old. This ritual is done by the community on behalf of the groom’s family. Who is going to do this requires horoscope match. Although for the marriage, horoscope and astrology is not required.

Samdhiyara, a feast organized by boy’s side for the girl’s side. Anyday after the engagement they can plan this feast. Samdhiyara is organized by girl’s side on the day of engagement.

One day before the wedding, 2 people from the village and from the family along with one barber, from the groom’s side goes to the girl’s place with clothes and jewelry for the girl which she will wear for her wedding. The Vidaai of the girl is done on the same day, where as per the astrology the girl is send out of her house, the groom’s family comes and takes her to their place. The time of the bride’s entry to groom’s place is also decided as per the astrology. The wedding rituals then takes place at the groom’s place. The wedding includes Pooja, Sindur and Mangalsutra. Though the Pheras is not the traditional custom but now it is followed at some places.

8th October 2019

The day of the wedding in Bisoi, from groom’s side, was when we reached Bisoi by 12 in the noon. We were greeted by everyone in the community and were directed to the place for lunch. It was organized in front of the groom’s house. Mat was spread on the floor, we had to sit on that and lunch was served by the people looking after the food. The marriage Pooja was held in the morning itself by 11 AM.

In old days the food was cooked by different houses and was served in their respective houses itself. Each house was allotted certain number of guests who were taken care of by that particular house. The food was also served in bronze plates. Now, due to various reasons the rituals have changed and the food is served in a common space and in disposable plates. Although even today the chappatis are made by ladies of the village at their home.

We had our lunch which included dal, rice, vegetable and chapatti. We then headed to the community hall (Milan Kendra) of the village, where all the ladies of the village gathered for lunch. This is a tradition of the community where all the ladies are served lunch and given gifts which is brought by the groom’s maternal uncle. This is done in the honor of the ladies. This lunch is organized to introduce the bride as part of the village. The gifts given to the ladies contains sweets, ghee, dry fruits and fruits.

Post lunch all the ladies, including the bride, perform their traditional dance in their traditional dress in the premises of the Mahasu Devta Temple. The dance is performed only by the married ladies of the village. The men, later on joins the ladies in the dance.

In the evening, the same day, a reception is organized, which is hosted by the groom’s family. The bride’s family is also invited to this feast. The bride and groom and offered gifts and blessings by everyone there. Their food includes mutton, chicken, rice, sweets, ghee, halwa, roti, vegetable and Surr (their local drink). This is the traditional meal of the village which is followed even today.

Pic 4. The guests having dinner on the day of reception

The reception party includes their traditional folk dance which is performed by the boys and girls of the village.

In the wedding each one in the village takes responsibilities of the works to be done. Like every ladies of the village makes rotis for the whole feast, men divide works like cooking, cleaning, serving etc. each one in the community is involved in the wedding in some or the other way. In that sense a wedding is a community event and not just a family function.

All these rituals are mandatory to be followed only for the eldest son of the generation. Other children’s marriage can be organized in a simple ordinary pooja as well.

ANNEXURE 14 Site visit to Woodstock school (October 17, 2019 – October 21, 2019)

Objective: Main objective of this site visit was to do the preliminary survey of the Quad building of Woodstock. This preliminary survey included the distress mapping and collecting data for preparing SketchUp model for Quad building of Woodstock school. This study will enable us to find and locate the major areas of distress and there extent and to understand the structural system of the building.

Fig. 1: (a) Image showing location of Woodstock school in mountains. (b) Buildings in Woodstock school.

Location and Connectivity Woodstock School is located in Landour, a small hill station contiguous with the town of Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, India. It is located at 30°27′14″N and 78°6′3″E.

Fig. 2: Image showing location of Woodstock school and satellite image.

Visit to Woodstock school A team of two members- Survesh Chetival and Lalita Waldia started from IIT Roorkee on 17 October, 2019. We reached Mussoorie at 7.30 pm on same day and then arrangement was done by school management for reaching at Woodstock. Our staying arrangement was done at school’s guest house.

Characteristics of Quad Building- Woodstock Quad building is divided into several different blocks and each block is interconnected with other. Quad building consists of total 3 floors named level 1, level 2 and level 3. The building construction was of load bearing stone masonry, reinforced concrete structure and steel structure. The top roof of each block was consist of truss structure and then tin sheets covering it. The truss structure was made up of both wood and steel angles. Glass wool sheets were also provided below tin sheets for insulation purpose.

Plans of different levels:

Fig. 3: Plan of level 1 of Quad building at Woodstock school.

Level-1 of Quad building consists of mainly music block, mess block, office block and classroom block. All the structures were mostly load bearing masonry walls with steel beams and slab on it except mess block. Mess block was majorly divided into 2 parts named dining area and kitchen. Most of the dining area was load bearing stone masonry but most of the kitchen block was steel structure. The office block was mostly load bearing masonry walls with steel beams and slab on it. Same load bearing masonry walls with steel beams and slab on it was there for classroom block.

Fig. 4: Plan of level 2 of Quad building at Woodstock school.

Level-2 mostly consists of classrooms, guestrooms and offices. All the blocks were load bearing masonry. Some of the blocks were having level-3 and some of them were having level-2 only. For roof, some blocks had roof truss and some of them had slab. Over that they had roof slope to provide water drainage. For roofing of corridor on level-2, wooden sections with tin sheets over them were provided.

Work Flow

Day-1 (October 18, 2019)

On first day of our visit we did a brief visit of Quad building for an overview. Then we prepared the way ahead and a rough plan of work needs to be done during visit. Then we met Mr. Raveesh Dogra on our first day. We discussed about our work plan and help we need from them. We discussed about the planning for opening of all fall ceilings and trusses. Then we discussed little bit about our work schedule for next 4 days.

Then in continuation of our previous work at Quad building we stated the mapping of the level -3 of the first block which consist of offices and classrooms. We met with the carpenters and guided them for opening of ceilings and then we started the measurements for structural mapping of that level. After that when ceilings were opened from 3 different places we went into the truss structure and did measurements of trusses. After that we did distress mapping of the same level on that day and we collected necessary data for that.

Fig. 6: Image showing mapping of corridor at music block.

Day-2 (October 19, 2019)

On second day of our visit we then started the other block of the quad building. This block consists of mess on ground floor and class rooms on level-1. We started our work from level-1 corridor of the block since carpenters were not present. As soon as carpenter came we guided them to open the truss ceiling. But it was not possible to open ceiling of that floor so we decided to open steel roof sheet from top and inspect the truss from there. As soon as sheet was removed we went inside for mapping of truss. Like this we opened another sheet for the block which was in continuation with previous block and we did mapping of that block. After that we did mapping of the classrooms and offices present on level-1. After that we did distress mapping on level-1 and we collected necessary data needed.

Fig. 7: Image showing roof truss at Quad building. Day-3 (October 20, 2019)

Day 3 was Sunday so we had the carpenters for only limited period of time. So we decided first to open all the possible fall ceilings and then carpenter will leave and we will do the structural mapping and distress mapping work. So till afternoon we opened all the possible ceilings since some rooms were locked. After lunch we did mapping of art classroom and then structural mapping of all the possible rooms in different blocks. After that we went to the kitchen area on level-1 and opened that fall ceiling. Since ceiling of that one part was easy to open so we decided to do mapping of that part also. We did distress mapping work also simultaneously.

Day-4 (October 21, 2019)

On day 4 we started work from level-1 at admission office and lyon’s lounge. Then we moved to ICT office and we opened ceiling of all the possible parts and took measurements for structural mapping. Further we moved to back side area and did same for that part. Then we met Mr. Raveesh Dogra and Mr. Enosh Thomas for the discussion of work done and remaining work. We also showed them the parts which were not accessible for mapping. After that we started work in level-1 Mess building which was mix of both steel and concrete structure. That was last part which was remaining for mapping. About 4pm we completed our work from there and we left for Roorkee.

SketchUp model of Quad Building SketchUp is a 3D modeling computer program which is used for a wide range of drawing applications such as architectural, interior design, landscape architecture, civil and mechanical engineering.

In our study we are preparing a SketchUp model of Quad building including structural elements of it. This enables us to understand the structural system of the Quad building. For this work, plans of all the levels of Quad building were provided by Woodstock school management. With use of those plans we did documentation of structural members and all openings present.

For documentation of Truss members sketches were prepared by Ms. Lalita Waldia and then used for preparation of SketchUp model.

Figure 3. Meeting with Malika and community

Day 2 –November 12th, 2019

In the morning she met carpenters and had a look on the tools required for carving work and temporary identified place for craft school.

Tools includes all Knives and chisels (chip carving, U-gouge, V-gouge, Bent and spoon gauge). Two new tools are brought by carpenter and other four are of Sharma ji that can be used for initial work until crafts school gets its own tools. Probably Sharma ji will get these tools or else they can be prepared by local Blacksmith.

Temporary place for Crafts school is identified in house premises of Malika. It’s a temporary tin shed.

Figure 4. Tools required for wooden carving

Figure 5. Temporary shed for Craft School

After that she met Rekha Rautela (owner of homestay of pilot project), documented her house mainly façade and door and window details.

Details of the house -

There are two guest rooms with door cum window type opening (wooden frame with glazing and wire mesh). Roofing is pitched with wooden rafters and covering of metal sheet, Flower bed between two doors, Handmade (By Rekha’s husband) wooden sculpture of sheep is hanged on the front wall. The house is made up of concrete with modern facility toilet but they tried to maintain some features of traditional buildings by applying paste of mud with an adhesive in the plastered walls.

Day 3 –November 13th, 2019

On third day she discussed designs with the owners from the Motif’s catalogue book. On the basis of initial design interest of owner, she made two different design option.

Option A – It consists of repetition of a singular design element (two curves and in between flower bud) on three sides of door frame. If we will take the length of design 5cm then approx. 40 units can be carved along the length of the door. This design pattern is selected by Rautela family.

One curve in the section for blending new wood section to the existing frame for seamless appearance.

Figure 11 Showing Option ‘A’

Option B - This is more complex than earlier. There is lord Ganesha on top middle of the frame. The overall pattern remains same. One additional element is carved wooden arch on the top of the door frame.

Figure 12 Showing Option ‘B’

Conclusion

The initial work for renovation is done that includes interaction with community and carpenters, Setup for craft school and initial design discussion with homestay owner. Final design will be discussed with master craftsmen. Training will start when Master Craftsmen will be back to Sarmoli.

Sample of Munsyari soil is collected by Lalita for soil testing in IIT Roorkee.

Figure 12. Door frame

Day 3 – December 22nd, 2019

Lalita went to nine homestays for floor plans, then drafted the plans on Auto Cad and shared with Malika for further procedure for loan. While documenting she met Chandra ji, she mentioned about her old house that is in dilapidated conditionand asked whether project can work on that. The roof was leaking and there is no one with knowledge of assembling slate (‘’pathar”in local term). If they will not find one, then they will use tin sheet as roof covering. For them it is most easy way of doing. She also mentioned they had single house for three bothers earlier but now two of them converted there into concrete house as a result the single roof they use to have is now with only one third part.

Figure 13 and 14. Floors plans of Homestays.

Figure 15. Chandra’s old house.

Day 4 – December 23rd, 2019

Lalita discussed with Malika and community about conservation work for Chandra’s old vernacular house.They were very enthusiastic about this as it is only house in Sarmoli with vernacular architecture and will be an example of vernacular houses in Sarmoli.

Lalita went to Mesarkund with Deepaji and Chandra ji for measurement of the shed. There were three concrete blocks already constructed with dug out ground.

Figure 16 and 17. MesarKund site with Deepaji and Chandra ji. Day 5 – December 24th, 2019

For design pattern of motif was discussed with owner Rekhaji and master craftsmen. As the pattern should be as per as aesthetic taste of owner and at the same time should be easy to start for craft studio.

The designs include two patterns mainly one for jamb and other for head of door. The first pattern is repetition of leafwith mid rib or main vein and second one is flower (six to eight petals) with leaflets.

Figure 18. Design pattern for head Figure 19. Motif for jamb (first from right)

Day 6 – December 25th, 2019

Rekha have two doors cum window fenestration for homestay. With mutual discussion with craftsmen, Rekhaji and Malika ji about frame for wood carving. As a result,craftsmen will carve wood for door frame including fan light part (window above door). It will look more complete. For now, craftsmen are working on doors and later on owners can do for windows too.

Figure 20. Fenestration of Rekhaji’s homestay.

Day 7 – December 26th, 2019

The master craftsman craved on two jamb part and two craftsmen were working on other two jambs. Sharma ji gave some tips and techniques on how to start working with carving on wood and consistently gave guidance to both Raju ji and Mahendra Ji.

Rekhaji mentioned to change design pattern for head part as it will break monotony. In addition to this it will also give new exposure for learning different pattern. For this she chooses a different pattern for head part from motif’s catalogue. The design pattern is originally from main door from Pithoragarh (“kholi”). Originally the design was on all three sides but here craftsmen carving flower pattern on two heads one for door and one for fanlight.

Figure 21. Raju ji learning from Master craftsmen

Figure 22. Motif design for door jamb. Day 8 – December 27th, 2019

Lalita estimated the area for bamboo board and shared with Malika and did some changes required as per her discussion with Malika.

Figure 23. Estimation for bamboo board.

Day 9 – December 28th, 2019

Discussion on polishing carved frame for better aesthetic. Linseed oil is traditional way of polishing wooden frames. Things that should keep in mind for polishing with linseed oil is first the quality of oil and secondly polishing should be done many times for better result and it will last long with good appearance.

Lalita worked on 3D for MesarKund for conceptual level and discussed with research team for structural support.In the view there are eight columns. The first two columns have clear height of 3m and it goes on increasing with next columns to about 40cm to give rise to elevated roof.

The master craftsman drafted floral pattern for head part by using compass and pencil (making circles and equal spacing). He also worked on the joinery for frame.

Figure 24. 3D for shed in MesarKund

Day 10 – December 29th, 2019

Lalita went to Shankhdhura for measuring drawing for next homestay. The first homestay was Bina Nitwal’s and second one was Basanti’s. Both have two doors for carving frames, the only difference between them is Basanti’s homestay have fan light thus will require two head and one for Beena’s homestay.

Bina’s homestay is on first floor and Basanti is independent unit, have door cum window fenestration with broader doors.

There were three wooden planks for two doors with fanlight part. So, the rough estimate for wood for two doors with fanlight is Rs.3000 (approx.).

Conclusion

Work for one homestay is done including wood carving and fitting to existing door frame. The same procedure will be following for remaining homestays. Measuring drawings of façade are done for next three homestays. Designs are to be discussed with owner and master craftsmen.

Trilokji from Sarmoli can update and share pictures for work status and also will maintain excel sheet for all expenses for craft studio.

ANNEXURE 18 “LIKHAI”

Figure 1. Likhai work in Munsiari

Likhai (Carving on wood for doors and windows frame), once an integral part of the cultural history of Kumaoun region, is endangered today. The craft, which has religious roots—often featuring carvings of gods, goddesses and kings and queens at one point—is slowly dying because of the dearth of artisans willing to take it up and also from the unavailability of toon wood (Source: TheHindu).

This is a documentation of “Likhai” done by Craftsmen in village Sarmoli, Munsiari during craft studio under project Resilient Himalayan Homes (IIT, Roorkee with HimalPrakriti, Sarmoli).The first step was arrangement of wood that is appropriate for carving. About 50 woodenplanks (white walnut) of size 2.4m x 0.2m x 0.03m was arranged by Raju ji (local craftsman) for craft studio. The planks are then cut into pieces as per measurement of doorsof homestay. By using power planer (“Randa” in local term) the surface of wood was cleaned for clear surface.

Figure 2. Craftsman using power planer The door frame was set up by Sharma ji (Master craftsman) as per the measurement and required joinery.

Figure 3. Joinery detail of frame

The design pattern for motifs was selected by mutual discussion with owner and carpenter. There was two design pattern one for head and jamb. They started with jamb part first that was series of leaves with a mid-rib.

Stancil was made with cardboardfor uniform size design. With the help of this they drafted the design on wooden jamb with pencil. One single leaf was 10cm in length with total about 30 leaves in series.

Figure 4. Stancil and drafting on wooden member

Before drafting they took margin from both sides. The door side is chiseled to about 2cm for cornice that will give a smooth finish and not as one rectangle section over other existing section. A line is drawn on wooden part and with the use of chisel and hammer they chiseled out wooden part.

Figure 5. New frameFigure 6. Edge of the frame

Figure 7. Carpenter making cornice

Figure 8. Frame edge For carving motif the thing they did first was to chisel out the portion other than the design part. Thus the raised part was only the motif design part. The edge of the design part was not straightly carved to the base but is more tapered that is might be due to safety of the edge.

Figure 9. Carving procedure

- A and B are two patterns of leaves. - + sign for raised part and – sign for depressed part.

The motif design for head part is series of full blown flower with six to eight petals. Master craftsman first draft the design on wooden member using compass and pencil. Two flower are at equal distance with in between ogee shape stem with leaflets.

For carving he first marked circle (Disk florets) inside main flower circle and carve out that portion and then other part. The leaves are then chisel out followed by petals of flower. Master craftsman gave final touch to carving by impression of seeds on central portion of flower.

Figure 10. Drafting on wooden member

Figure 11. Craving of flower part first

Figure 12. Craftsmen carving on head frame

Figure 13. Seeds on Disk florets (special touch by master craftsmen) Craftsman joined wooden frames to make one single unit and to utilize most of the wood. Master craftsman mentioned that if wood is dry it is easy to join and will not create any issue in future.

Figure 14. Joinery of different wooden member for single frame

Once they done with carving they clean wood with sand paper and finally with router. After the frame was ready they took all parts to site with necessary tools and materials that includes nails, drilling machine, saw etc. With the drilling machine they made holes about 30cm apart. Some part of the door frame was covered with plaster so, they removed that portion.

The frame then is nailed to existing frame by using hammer. While doing that the glass was shaking as that was door cum window frame with glass. One carpenter gave support by using wooden log from inside where they were nailing. Polishing will be done after that with linseed oil thatis traditional way of doing and required a constant polish for a while and then will last ling and will protect wood.

ANNEXURE 19 Objective: To document the loom and warping drum for the revival of handloom practises in SIDH foundation.

Introduction: Handloom is one of the ancient practises in Indian subcontinent’s textile industry and it represents the rich cultural heritage and magnificent crafting skill of the people. It comprises the largest cottage industry of the country. Millions of looms across the country are engaged in weaving cotton, wool, silk and other natural fibres. Handloom forms a precious part of the generational legacy and exemplifies the richness and diversity of the country and the artistry of the weavers. The tradition of weaving by hand is a part of the country’s cultural ethos. Handloom in SIDH Society for Integrated Development in Himalaya (SIDH) is an NGO in Kempty, Mussorie founded by Mr Pawan Gupta who has engaged himself in providing meaningful, relevant, and holistic education as a tool for social change to local children and youth since 1989. Under the SIDH foundation, Mr Pawan Gupta started an initiative named Sanjivini 1999. It provided a vocational training programme for young adults (17-30 years) which included Bakery, plumbing, electrical and Handloom skills.

In 2002, the handloom practise was started in SIDH. Mr Rahees Haider, the master weaver started this practise and gave training to young adults. For two years this practise is continued in SIDH and later in 2004, due to some personal reason he shut down this unit.

Now, after 16 years Mr Pawan Gupta decided to revive handloom practise in SIDH. He contacted Mr Rahees Haider and discussed this idea with him. They brought two looms and one warping drum to start handloom practise again.

Documentation To document the handloom and warping drum, Ms Poonam Gamit, the Junior Research Fellow reached SIDH campus on 12th January 2020 at 01:00 pm. There she met Mr Rahees Haider who took her to the room where the setup of handloom and warping drum is done. The documentation is in the form of drawings, photos, videos and recorded audio of Mr Rahees Haider explaining the functions of parts of looms and warping drum.

Figure 1: Arrangement of two looms and one warping drum in SIDH campus

Warping Drum Warping is a process which converts yarn into linear form which wraps around weaving beam or belan and gives length of fabric in the loom. In this stage arrangement of threads can be done according to the desired sequence.

For this process, three units are there: Warping drum, Jaali and Grill. Grill: The process of warping starts from grill which consists of horizontal and vertical wooden members of size 1560 X 35 X 45mm and 1600 X 45 X 90mm respectively. The distance between two horizontal members is 110mm. There are eight horizontal wooden members which are connected by two vertical wooden members through mortise and tenon joints. In each horizontal member there are ten steel needles 120mm long on each side at a distance of 140mm centre to centre and on total 160 needles in grill. The purpose of needle is to hold yarn or thread ball into it. There are ten steel loops on both side of one vertical wooden member. The thread from each needle goes through the loops in the order of last needle to the top Figure 2: Left to right- Warping drum, Jaali and Grill loop, ninth needle to the second loop and similarly the first needle to bottom loop.

Figure 3: Details of Grill Figure4: Left: Grill, Top-right: Mortise and tenon joint and Bottom-right: Needle and loops Jaali: The next unit of warping is Jaali which consists of two vertical wooden members of size 1650 X 50 X 30mm. These wooden members hold eighty hooks, this number is decided according to the number of needles in grill. This should be half of the total number of needles in grill. Thread which comes from grill goes into these hooks. One thread will go from inside these hooks and another goes from in between of two hooks. After this stage, the thread comes into a linear form and goes towards drum.

Figure5: Details of Jaali Figure 7: Hooks of Jaali Warping drum: This warping drum is made of wood. Another material which can be used for making drum is steel. The components of warping drum are chokta (frame), dhura, saapt and ghodi. The frame includes horizontal and vertical wooden members to hold the all elements of drum together. It consists of four top horizontal members two of them are of size 2600 X 100 X 75mm with a niche at one end to hold belan and other two are 1680 X 60 X 45mm, four bottom horizontal members two of size 1300 X 80 X 60 mm and another of 1680 X 60 X 45mm, and four vertical inclined members of 800 X 100 X 75mm. These members are joined through mortise and tenon joints.

Figure 8: Left- Frame of warping drum, Right- Niche detail and joinery detail

There are two gutka of size 340 X 100 X 75mm on the two opposite top horizontal members, to hold the dhura. These gutke are joint with the horizontal wooden members with the help of bolts. Dhura is a horizontal wooden member of size 1830 X 120 X 120mm which rotates around its horizontal axis. It holds eight saapts which consists of three Figure 9: Components of Warping drum- Gutka (left) and Ghodi (Right) vertical and one horizontal wooden member. Each saapt has three joints with dhura. Out of these eight saapt, one saapt is having needles on its horizontal member to hold the threads coming from kanghi of ghodi. After all the saapts are joined into dhura it forms a chakra. Wooden member of size 547 X 40 X Figure 10: Joinery details of Saapt and Dhura 15mm is nailed at adjacent vertical members of saapt to hold it in circular form. As dhura rotates, the thread starts wrapping around chakra till the decided length of fabric. After this, the dhura will rotate in opposite direction and the thread will start wrapping in belan.

Figure 11: Process of fixing Saapt into Dhura Figure 12: Warping drum

Figure 13: Details of Warping Drum

Figure 14: Details of Saapt Handloom Unit

A loom is a mechanism or tool used for weaving yarn and thread into textiles. Weaving is a method of textile production in which two distinct sets of yarns or threads are interlaced at right angles to form a fabric or cloth. The longitudinal threads are called the warp (tana) and the lateral threads are the weft (bana).

Handloom unit consists of five parts:

• Chokta (Frame) • Belan, Kharak K1 (tread) and tur • Kharak K2 (Fabric) and hatha (kanghi, shuttle) • Takhta (plank to sit) • Chidhiya, ranch and paddle

The frame of loom consists of 12 wooden members: four vertical members of size 1685 X 90 X 75mm, four top horizontal members out of which two are of size 1620 X 90 X 75 and other two are of 1670 X 60 X 35mm, and four bottom horizontal members out of which two are of size 1220 X 90 X 75 and other two are of 1670 X 60 X 35mm. This frame holds the remaining components of looms. These members are joined through mortise and tenon joints and nails. This loom is documented in three levels: level 1, level 2 and level 3. Level One Figure 15: Handloom Unit The components in level one are paddle and belan.

Paddle: In a loom, number of paddles are always even. Two paddles are used to make simple cloth, four paddles are to make hearing bond (M-shape design/ diamond shape) and six paddles are used to make same design as four but in larger size. This loom consists of four paddles of size 1060 X 35 X 15mm each. One side of these paddles are loosely connected to one bottom horizontal wooden member. On another side of paddle there are twelve holes in which parachute thread is tied, which Figure 16: Paddle connects paddle from chidhiya and ranch.

Weaving beam / Belan: This is the same belan which is prepared in warping drum. The length of belan gives the width of fabric. On two front vertical wooden members of loom, there is gutka to hold belan. There is a gaurari made up of steel, it’s a circular plate used to apply brake on belan.

Figure 18: Left- Gaurari and wooden rod to apply break; Right- Gutka to hold belan

Figure 19: Details of plan of level one of handloom Level Two: The components of level two are kharak K1 (thread), kharak K2 (fabric), tur (fabric belan) and takhta. There are two vertical wooden members of 470 X 90 X 75mm which holds two horizonal members of 810 X 90 X 75 mm.

Kharak K1 (thread): It is hold by two gutkas, which are above the another two gutkas on two front vertical members. This tightens the threads which are coming from belan, and further thread goes into ranch.

Figure 20: Gutka to hold Kharak K1

Figure 21: Belan, Khrak K1 and Tur

Tur (Fabric belan): It is a circular horizontal wooden member of 1670mm long and 100mm diameter; it holds the final cloth which is weaved in this loom. It is hold by two horizontal members. On one side of there is a gaurari which is a circular steel plate to apply break on the rotation of tur.

Figure 22: Gaurari for Tur

Kharak K2: The kharak wooden member of size 2040 X 90 X 60mm, fixed above two vertical members on this level. This tightens the cloth which is coming out of hattha and further goes to tur. Both the kharak should be at same level.

Takhta (wooden plank): It is a wooden plank of size 1970 X 100 X 20mm, used to sit and operate the loom. It could be inside or outside the loom.

Figure 23: Kharak K2 and Takhta

Figure 24: Details of plan of level 2

Level Three: It consists of hatha and chidhiya. In this level, all the components are hanging from top horizontal wooden members. Figure 26: Chidhiya

Chidhiya: There are total eight chidhiya (double of no of paddle), four on two sides. Thread coming from chidhiya is connected to ranch and paddle. This thread is known as parachute thread. Thera are many knots tied in this thread. The purpose of these knots is to assemble smaller units of looms.

Hatha: It is the last and most important component of looms. This consists a shutte, kanghi and hattha for kanghi. Thread which is coming from ranch goes through kanghi. The shuttle is also having Figure 25: Setup of Chidhiya in loom thread(bana). This is the part where threads interlaced at right angles to form a fabric or cloth.

Figure 28: Components of hatha: Shuttle (top) and khanghi (middle); Bottom- Figure 27: Hatha for loom Detail shows the placement of hatha above wooden members

Figure 29: Details of plan of level 3

Figure 30: Details of side elevation of loom Conclusion Ms Poonam Gamit successfully documented the handloom unit and warping drum in SIDH foundation. This practise is revived after 16 years in SIDH foundation which shows the importance of rich cultural heritage and magnificent crafting skill. This will help the community in Kempty, Mussoorie to develop their crafting skills and it disseminate the traditional knowledge to the next generation.

ANNEXURE 20 Objective: To document the second stage i.e. working process of handloom unit.

Introduction After the installation of handloom units Mr Rahees Haider, the master weaver started the preparation for first bunch of fabric from the unit. He bought 50 kilograms of raw materials in form of thread cones and hank (laccha) for production from Meerut. The preparation started from 23rd January 2020 and to document this Ms Poonam Gamit, the Junior Research Fellow reached SIDH campus on 27th January 2020 at 01:00 pm.

Procedure: The procedure of weaving fabric starts with the designing of fabric. Mr Rahees Haider decided to make a fabric which is 50 meters long and one meter wide.

The working process of handloom unit includes the following stages:

• Warping • Drafting • Denting • Weaving Warping Warping is the process of making hank yank to linear lengthy form in a huge warping wheel, which helps the yarn to take position of warping section for weaving. Following are the steps for the process of warping:

Step 1: Mr Rahees Haider made 50 thread gutke from 6 kgs of raw material to make the fabric of decided dimensions. He made these with the help of Gandhi charkha in three days.

Figure 1: Raw material in form of hank (left) and thread cones (right)

Figure 2: Making of thread gutke with Gandhi charkha Figure 3: Thread gutke in the grill

Step 2: These thread gutke are placed into the needles of the grill. Twenty-five thread gutke were placed on both sides: nine gutke on top two layers and seven gutke on third layer. The thread from last gutka on 1st layer will go from the top loop in the vertical member of grill with the help of taarbharni. Then thread from second last gutka will go through second loop. All the threads from remaining gutke goes according to the same pattern.

Step 3: In next stage, these threads go across the jaali that is placed before the warping drum. The threads from one side of the grill enter inside the hooks of jaali and threads from the other side of the grill crosses between these hooks.

Figure 2: Threads going across the jaali Figure 3: Threads coming from muh of kangi

Step 4: Out of fifty threads coming from jaali, a group of five threads go through one ghar of kanghi which is fixed in ghodi.

Step 5: These total 50 threads are tied together in one nail of saapt in drum. The perimeter of circular saapt of warping drum is five meters. Saapt is rotated, so that these threads are tightly covered on the saapt. According to the decided length of fabric, ten rotations of saapt is required to make 50-meter- long fabric. After 10 rounds, the threads coming from jaali are cut and hooked it into one saapt.

Figure 6: Bunch of 50 threads tied to a nail in saapt Figure 7: Rotation of charkha

Step 6: The above step is repeated for 41 times, so that there is total of 2050 number of threads for the width of one meter.

Step 7: One end of all the threads are tied together to a wooden plank which is tied to the belan (weaving beam). The handle fixed in belan is used to rotate it, so that circular saapt starts rotating in another direction and the threads are wrapped tightly in belan.

This is the end of warping stage and weaving beam is prepared which is used in further stages of handloom.

Figure 8: Rotation of saapt in other direction to prepare belan Drafting Drafting is the next stage in the working procedure of Handlooms. Following are the steps involved in drafting:

Step 1: Weaving beam (belan) which was prepared in warping stage is placed at the top of the loom along the ranch.

Figure 9: Belan is placed above the ranch (left) and four layers of the ranch (right)

Step 2: In this loom, there are four layer of ranches which are decided according to the number of paddles. Each ranch layer has almost 510 ranches in it for 2050 threads. From front side of loom each thread goes through the loop of individual ranch. This step will give the designing pattern in warp side. First thread goes from fourth layer, second thread goes from first layer, third thread from third layer and fourth thread from second layer which gives the sequence of 4,1,3,2. This sequence can be in any form but that should be followed for all the Figure 10: threads tied together after completion of drafting process threads. While doing this step some threads should be tied together. Note: From both end till twenty ranches, two threads go from one ranch to give strength to the edge of the fabric.

Figure 11: Belan, at its original place

Step 3: After completing step two, belan is placed at its original place in the loom. Denting Step 1: For this procedure, kanghi is tied above ranch. Step 2: Each thread goes from each muh of kanghi. This step should be done very carefully such that any muh is not empty or have threads from two ranches. Note: From both end till twenty ranches two threads go from one muh to give strength to both edges of the fabric. Step 3: After completing this step, kanghi is placed back to its original position. Figure 12: Kanghi tied above the ranch Step 4: All the threads coming from kanghi are tied to one plank at different points.

Figure 4: Threads are tied on a plank

Figure 13: Single thread coming from ranch and go across single muh of the kanghi Figure 14: threads tied with plank

Preparation before weaving Step 1: Parachute thread tied from first lower frame of ranch to the first paddle, second lower frame to second paddle and same for third and fourth paddle.

Figure 15: Parachute thread connecting the paddle and ranch Figure 16: Bobbin

Step 2: Bobbin is prepared with the help of Gandhi charkha. The thread in the bobbin is weft of the fabric.

Step 3: Bobbin is fixed into the tiri of shuttle.

Figure 17: Bobbin fixed in the shuttle

Weaving Step 1: Mr Rahees Haider sat on takhta from where he was easily able to move the paddle with his feet. The procedure of weaving starts when he moves two paddles (2 and 4 no.) down. By doing this half of the threads go down and make a V- shape opening. Figure 18: Weaving process Figure 19: V-shape opening for shuttle to cross

Step 2: Shuttle is placed on one side of gutka of hatta. Parachute thread is tied from these two gutke to upper frame of hatta. There is a handle in centre of thread to pull it. By pulling the thread, the shuttle goes from one side to another side through the V-shape opening of threads. After this Mr. Rahees pulls and pushes the kanghi, to tighten the weft threads.

Step 3: After step 2, Mr Rahees changes the paddle number from 4 to 3 and repeats step 2. Then he changes paddle number from 2 to 1. So, the sequence for paddles is 4,2,3,1. This sequence can be in any order.

Step 4: After repeating the above steps, the fabric starts getting the form. The fabric is the rolled into tur.

Conclusion Ms Poonam Gamit successfully documented the working process of handloom unit.

ANNEXURE 22 Objective: The objective is to document the techniques learned at lime workshop, which majorly focussed on making lime mortar for stone masonry, plastering and concreting.

Introduction The lime workshop was held at workshop area of Studio.net, Bhuj from 4th- 7th February 2020. Mr Kiran Vaghela, co-founder and mentor of Studiodot.in was the organiser of the workshop. Ms Poonam Gamit, JRF from IIT Roorkee along with two artisans, Mr Vinesh Negi and Mr Yashpal from Bisoi reached Bhuj on 4th February 2020. The workshop started with an introductory session between the people from Studiodot.in and IIT Roorkee. There were total seven Figure 1: Interactive session between people from Studiodot.in and IIT Roorkee people during the workshop; Mr Kiran Vaghela, Mr Mitesh Budhiya (architect from Studio.net), Mr Uttam and Mr Arjun (two artisans from Studio.net), Mr Yashpal, Mr Vinesh and Ms Poonam Gamit.

After the introductory session, Mr Kiran Vaghela started explaining about the lime as material. He explained about the lime cycle, benefits of lime as a construction material, types of unslaked lime and methods to identify them.

Figure 2: Lime cycle Source: Studiodot.in There are three types of unslaked lime: soft burnt, under burnt and over burnt lime. Soft burnt lime is the one which is fired to the right amount, under burnt lime are fired for lesser amount of time than needed and over burnt are fired for more amount of time. The soft burnt lime is light in weight and the other two are heavy. To identify the difference between these, they are put inside water. The soft burnt lime immediately reacts with water and other two takes time to react. Usually for construction purpose the light weight lime is handpicked for slaking purpose. Duration for slaking of lime is one month for mortar, Figure 3: Differentiating between types of unslaked lime masonry and plastering and three months for finish layer of plastering.

Lime mortar for Masonry and Plastering Materials The lime mortar used for masonry and plastering is constituted of five materials: lime putty, sand, surkhi/flyash, urad atta and glue.

• Lime putty: Unslaked lime or quicklime has to be slaked for minimum one month before using it for mortar. According to the scientific experiment, optimum density of lime putty should be 1.4 kg/litre, and not less than 1.25kg/litre. • Sand: Angular and well graded sand is recommended for making good mortar. • Flyash/ Surkhi: To give compressive strength to the mortar at initial stage. • Urad atta: It is used for adhesive purpose. • Glue: It is organic in nature and gives immediate adhesive property for mortar. Proportion ratio According to the IS code, proportion for lime and sand in lime mortar is 1:4. To get the weight of lime from lime putty, lime putty should be heated till the water completely evaporates and powdery form is left out. Usually, for a lime putty of density 1.25kg/l, the lime content is 510 grams.

The proportion of materials used for lime mortar is 10 litres of sand, 7.5 litres of lime putty, 2 litres of surkhi/flyash, 85 grams of urad atta and 185 grams of glue. Procedure The procedure of making lime mortar was demonstrated by Mr Uttam and Mr Arjun under the guidance of Mr Kiran Vaghela and then the artisans from Bisoi were asked to try the same. Before working with lime, it is suggested to wear gloves to protect skin. The procedure of making mortar for masonry and plastering is similar.

Masonry

Following are the steps for making lime mortar manually for masonry: Step 1: First step is to do screening of lime putty, sand and flyash using 75-micron net. This step helps in removal of lumps and other unwanted foreign materials in the admixture.

Figure 4: Screening of lime putty Figure 5: Screening of surkhi

Step 2: Take some amount of goond (tree gum) in a container, add water and heat it.

Figure 6: Glue (before and after heating)

Step 3: Take 10 litres of sand, 2 litres of surkhi and 85 g of urad atta. Mix it well properly in the dry form. Step 4: Add 7.5 litres of lime putty and 185g of glue-water into above mixture and mix it properly so that no lumps are formed. Mixing, chopping, beating and churning allows air to enter inside mortar, which helps in induration and carbonation of mortar.

Figure 7: Sand, surkhi and lime putty

Figure 8: Dry mixing of sand, surkhi and Figure 9: Mixing of mortar with shovel Figure 10: Proper mixing with feet urad atta after adding lime putty, goond and water Step 5: Add water according to the requirement and mix it well with shovel. For better results it should be done manually by feet.

Step 6: Before using lime mortar for masonry, curing is done with water or lime water on surface to protect the mortar from cracks due to absorption of water by masonry unit.

Figure 12: Construction of Stone masonry wall using lime mortar

Following are the steps for making lime mortar using Pan mixer for 30 litres of sand:

Step 1: Start the pan mixer.

Step 2: Add 30 litres of sand and 22.5 litres of lime putty to it.

Figure 13: Mixing of sand and lime putty in pan mixer (left), Proper mix of mortar (right)

Step 3: Add 6 litres of surkhi, 255 grams of urad atta and 375 grams of glue water and let it mix properly.

Step 4: Add water accordingly

Step 5: After proper mix, take the mortar out through the opening which is at the bottom of pan mixture.

Figure 14: taking out mortar from pan mixer Plastering The procedure and ratio of materials for plastering is same as the masonry. The only difference is the consistency, the mortar which is used for plastering should be denser as compared to the mortar for masonry.

For the first two layers of plastering, lime mortar is used and for the final layer only lime putty is used. For curing of plaster, the water applies in

fogger or sprinkler way by which it will take more CO2 from air.

Figure 15: Tools used for plastering

Figure 16: Applying mortar with trowel for Figure 17: Applying layer of lime putty Figure 18: Applying water in sprinkler plaster way Lime mortar for concreting Lime concreting can be used only for plain concreting purpose or to fill some spaces on the surface of plain concrete. Materials The materials which are used in lime mortar for concreting are lime putty, sand, urad atta, glue, aggregate and burnt clay. Proportion Ratio and calculation The ratio for concreting is 1:2:2:2 where 1 part is lime, two parts each of sand, aggregates and burnt clay. Procedure Following are the steps for making lime mortar for concreting:

Step 1 and Step 2 are the same as that is followed for making masonry lime mortar

Step 3: Break the burnt clay into small pieces.

Figure 19: Breaking burnt clay into smaller pieces

Figure 20: Burnt clay

Step 4: Add 10 litres of sand, 10 litres of aggregate, 10 litres of burnt clay and 85 grams of urad atta and mix it well.

Step 5: Add 12.5 litres of lime putty and 185 grams of glue water.

Figure 23: Mixing of mortar for cncreting

Step 6: Before concreting any surface from lime concrete mix, wash the area from lime water it will activate space and create more bond.

Figure 22: Spreading of mortar on whole surface

Figure 23: Plaining the mortar

Figure 24: Finished layer of lime concreting Conclusion This lime workshop helped artisans to understand the use of traditional material lime for construction purpose. The artisans learned the techniques of making lime mortar manually and using pan mixture for masonry, plastering and concreting. The learning from this workshop will help during the construction of Mr Digamber Chouhan’s residence in Bisoi and will help in passing on the traditional building technique to the future generations.

ANNEXURE 23 MEDICAL CAMP- BISOI 29th February 2020 and 1st March 2020

Objective

To follow up about the previous medical camp and try to set up a sustainable relation between the hospital and the community.

The main objective of organizing the medical camp in Bisoi was to try and set up a sustainable relation between the hospitals and the community. After organizing the medical camp in September 2019, it was identified that there is a need of such camps in the village. The project identified the need of medical assistance in the village and so, we decided to organize yet another medical camp for Bisoi and nearby villages creating a relationship between the hospitals and the village.

Pre-camp preparation

The preparation for the camp started from December 2019. The first step was to interact with the community of Bisoi and get an opinion on organizing the second medical camp in the village. The village approved the idea of the same and were supportive. This time the focus was to build relationship between some hospital and the village. Thus, we contacted MAX Hospital, Dehradun and Vivekanand Charitable Trust, Dehradun to help us organise this camp and also take special care of the people visiting them from the camp. They agreed to the same and 3 doctors from MAX Hospital and one eye specialist from Vivekanand Charitable trust visited the camp. MAX also organized few free tests for the camp, ECG test, Bone Density Test, Blood Pressure test, Blood Sugar test. Vivekanand Charitable trust also provided free medicines and spectacles for the people who needed the same. Finally, we decided to have a medical camp of two days for total 18 villages as our target audience.

22nd-25th February 2020 One team member, Shambhavi Pandey went to Bisoi and nearby villages for promotion and pre-registration to identify the expected number of patients in the camp and health issues existing there. Two people, Mr. Ajendra Chauhan from Bisoi and Mr. Dile Ram Joshi from Nagthat, voluntarily came forward to do further registration and take the promotions forward. The promotion was done mainly by distributing the pamphlets and word of mouth.

Two days were finalised for camp which were 29th February 2020 and 1st March 2020 according to availability of community and doctors. After that we finalised two venues for camp, primary school and community hall. Logistics, accommodation and food for doctors and staff were taken care by project. Tests and consultancy were taken care by doctors.

The registration list is as follows:

Analysis & Conclusion

The tests conducted showed that the community have major bone issues with low bone density of majority of people. Few ECGs were also conducted which needs further consultancy. The hospitals addressed our concern of follow up treatment. MAX committed that every person going to MAX through this camp will be given concession of up to 60% on every charge possible.

Similarly, Vivekananda committed to provide free services to the people from the camp. They also identified 7 cases of cataract in the camp. The patients are to be taken to the hospital and operated by the end of March 2020.

The community has also showed interest in taking the ownership of organizing the medical camp in future with these hospitals. They have formed a small group which is willing to take it forward. It has been further decided that the next camp, if organized, will be with the help and support of the community.

ANNEXURE 25 Wall Test Setup The objective is to build a setup for testing wall.

Introduction The setup is designed to test the walls of Himalayan vernacular style. It is designed in a way that walls of different dimensions and materials can be tested using the same set-up. It is designed and supervised by Dr. Sanjay Chikermane the principal investigator of the project. The tenure for building the setup is three months and it started during mid-July 2019. This setup is built in the Impact Lab of Civil Department, IIT Roorkee.

Materials and methods The setup consists of horizontal and vertical steel members. All the material used for the setup is delivered from New Delhi, India. There are mainly four parts of the setup which is the base structure, Vertical structure 01, Vertical structure 02 and one horizontal structure. There is another supporting structure to the right side of the setup. The step by step procedure is explained in the following section; Stage 1: Base structure

Figure 1: Base structure (top) and Plan of base structure (bottom) Base structure is the first stage in making of the setup. For base structure, three 6800mm long I-section beams of 400 X 140 X 8 mm are laid on the ground at a distance of 800mm and 940mm centre to centre (C/C). It is covered with the steel plates of sizes 1000 X 600 X 25 mm and 860 X 600 X 25 mm with bolts of 18mm diameter covering 4200mm in length from right side of the setup. To cover this length seven plates of both the sizes are used. There are four bolted joints at each corner of the fourteen plates which connects these plates with the beam. On the outer beams, hex bolts are used to fasten and on the inner beam head of hex bolt goes inside the surface of plates to give plain surface for wall construction. On the side of the plates which are placed on the outer beams there are four holes made on the middle of the side of the plate to hold the vertical structure 02. The parts where the plates are not covered which is the remaining 2400mm length is used to build vertical structure 01. The I- section beams are connected with stiffeners at three different points which includes two ends of the whole setup and one below the vertical inclined column. Vertical Structure

Figure 2: Vertical structure 01 and 02

Stage 2: Vertical structure 01 Two C-sections of 200 x 90x 8 mm are bolted back to back. There is a steel plate of dimensions 200x600x8 placed in between these two C-sections and these three components are bolted together. There are two columns, one is straight column placed at 90° which is 4572mm long and the other column with 75° angle of inclination with 4812 mm. There are plates arranged in five level which are equidistant throughout the height of the structure and are used for connections. The first two connections are made using single plate connecting both the above-mentioned columns. Further, the three levels had a connection of two plates from either side of the columns and had a to be resized to refrain from overlapping. From third level angles of dimension 110x110x8 are attached in a criss-cross fashion. All these components are connected together to make the whole truss setup. On the bottom end of the two columns two angles on each column are placed back to back and are bolted on two places, one with the column and the other with the I-section of the base structure with help of chain- pully hung at tripod, each truss is fixed above I-section using bolted joints. On each plate and column connection there are six bolts and the bottom angles had three with the column and three at the bottom. Three truss set-ups are made and are placed on every I-beam section of the base structure. On the vertical column eighteen holes are drilled at a distance of 200mm to attach a plate of size 1870 X 600 X 25 mm. This plate is designed to fix the horizontal actuator of capacity 300 kN. This plate is made movable and the position is decided according to the height of wall. On top of the vertical columns a I-section beam is connected to support the horizontal structure.

Two I section beams of dimensions 400 x 150 X 8mm is bolted at the top of the two vertical structure 01 and the supporting structure respectively. These I beam sections are bolted with vertical structure 01 using 12 bolt joints and 8 bolt joints on the supporting structure. There are stoppers at the end of both the beams. Above the I beam section there is an angle placed to enable the vertical movement of the roller. There are two rollers which is attached to a C-section for vertical movement. Above this C-section there are two other C-sections which is placed back to back at a distance of 150 mm. On bottom part of these two C-sections with the dimensions 8229 mm and plates at a distance of 1000 mm is welded to C-sections to keep it at the right position. An angle is welded for the horizontal movement of the roller at the bottom end of the C-sections. Two hexagonal plates with five holes with top two holes connected with the roller and the bottom three holes are connected with the pipes and is attached to fix it straight to hang a chain pully of capacity 5 tons. Stage 4: Vertical structure 02 This structure consists of two I-section columns of size 200X90X8mm and a beam of 400X140X8.9mm. The beam is connected with columns through four bolt joints on each side. This vertical structure is made to transfer the vertical pressure on wall. At this point, the centre of the wall should be placed on the vertical structure 02, and this centre keeps shifting depending on the length of the wall such that the wall is equidistant from the vertical structure on both the sides.

Conclusion The whole setup is built successfully to test different types of walls.

ANNEXURE 26 Wall Construction report The objective is to construct a reinterpreted wall of the Himalayan vernacular style in IIT-Roorkee lab for tests.

Introduction The reinterpretation of the Himalayan vernacular style is required because of the less availability of the materials which were used i.e. wood and stone. This reinterpreted wall is designed and supervised by Dr. Sanjay Chikermane the principal investigator of the project. It is designed in such a way that the usage of woods is less and instead of stone concrete blocks are used. This wall is constructed in between 15th- 18th October 2019 in the Impact Lab of Civil Department, IIT Roorkee.

Materials and methods The dimensions of the wall are 7’0”X 7’0” X 1’6”. The materials which used to construct this wall are wood, stone and concrete blocks. Wooden layers The wall has three wooden layers horizontally. The top and bottom layers are connected by four vertical members; two wooden and two steel members. The wooden layers are made by Mr Vinesh and Mr Yashpal, carpenters from Bisoi. They have prepared three layers of wood separately. Dovetail joint is used in these three layers to join the wooden members.

Figure 1: Plans of horizontal wooden layer Wall construction The wall is constructed on the base structure of wall test set-up. The araldite is applied above the plates of base structure, and stones are placed above that.

Figure 2: First layer of stone above the base structure of wall test setup

After the stone are properly paste, the first layer of wooden structure is placed above it. There is no adhesive material used between stone and wooden layer. In between the bottom and middle wooden layer, there are seven layers of concrete blocks. Concrete mortar is used to construct this wall. There are eight layers of stone between middle and top layer of wooden members.

Figure 5: Elevation of inner side of wall

On the inner elevation of the wall, top and bottom wooden horizontal members are joined together with two vertical wooden members with tenon and mortise joint. On outer elevation of wall, these two layers are welded through a steel angle of size 75 X 75 X 5. The angle is welded with a steel box on top and bottom wooden horizontal layer, wooden member is fixed inside the steel box with nails. This wooden member makes a tenon and mortise joint with the top and bottom wooden layer of wall. On outer wall, the steel will be exposed which protects the wood from outside atmosphere.
