Anand Foundation

Parijat Urja Chakra, a CSR initiative by Parijat Industries, has established a vocational training school in Fatehgarh, Ambala, to empower village children with practical skills. The standout feature of the project is its brick roof, crafted using a unique technique practiced by master masons from Rohtak for over 30-35 years. Known as Rohtak domes, these shallow domes require no reinforcement or shuttering and are both efficient and durable. The school incorporates a dome with a 15'x15' span, though spans of up to 30' can be constructed using this method. The structure is built on load-bearing walls and includes an L-shaped ring beam to secure the dome's base and counteract the thrust, ensuring stability. This innovative approach highlights the blend of traditional craftsmanship with modern functionality.
