Gangdo vahlo lage che - life of Salt Pan workers

Abstract

The project brief was to find out the technological changes brought in the life of Agariyas in the Little Rann of Kutch. It has been seen that since a few years back few NGO's have started installing solar panels in the desert to pump out the brine water, that is used to make the salt. This certainly brings up the questions about the salt farming that had begun here and if solar is a new change in technology for them, it is indeed a matter of curiosity as to what the Agariyas used earlier. There has always been a gap between the originality of the livelihood of Agariyas and the information that people receive through sources like news and media. The aim was to come up with a communication product which would draw attention to the gap between the audience and the Agariyas. This is for better understanding and making people aware of the salt pan workers who play a very important role in producing the nation's salt.
