Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya is working for national integration, and promotes research and training for salvage and revitalization of vanishing but valuable cultural traditions.
The students of second year B. Arch, School of planning and architecture, Vijayawada visited and documented the vernacular tribal homes at Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya.
The students were led by their faculty inclusive of Prashanti Rao, Ar Pushpendra Kumar, Ar Madhav Rao T.
