14. Conclusions & Findings
1. The overall encroachment on the limited open space is a major problem.
2. A lack of initiative in bringing in funds and new designs to maintain an even keel
in the business is posing a problem for survival of this profession.
3. The character of the precinct should be maintained, considering that this has a
tourist potential. Conserving Old Structures as it is Part of Pune City’s
Heritage.
4. The Work and Culture of Tambat Community Should be appreciated and
Arrangement of Exhibitions Should be done by Governing bodies by which profit
can be gained.
5. New workshops and new modern techniques should be implemented so Young
Generation will be attracted towards the profession, if not the work and heritage of
this “Ali” will be a history.
