While driving across the dusty countryside of Ajmer district in Rajasthan, some surprises await you at the Tilonia village. Here, you find villagers working diligently on computers, in a solar energy centre, and in a mini-electronics telephone exchange! Physically challenged youth work smartly and efficiently in the telephone exchange, and in a unit that converts 'waste to wealth'. A host of craft items dazzle you with their beauty and grace. Sprinkler irrigation and carefully laid pipes try to save every drop to water. Welcome to the famous Barefoot college of Tilonia, known more formally as the Social Work and Research Centre (SWRC). While the main centre is housed in two campuses of this village, several sub-centres exist in Rajasthan and in other parts of India.
