Abstract

Qila Raipur is one of the most celebrated villages of India. Popularly known as India’s Rural Olympics, the village has been taking pride in organizing, hosting and showcasing Rural Sports Festival every year since 1933.

On the basis of observation, photography, reconnaissance and public opinion surveys; to protect the legacy that lies in its rich cultural heritage and to promote the tourism, rural renewal through design proposals and strategies were recommended.
