About Program

The Desert Arts Research Centre is dedicated to uplifting and improving the lives of the Kalbelia community in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan. The Kalbelia (nomads or gypsies) community is economically, socially and educational on the margins of the society. The Desert Arts Research Centre has undertaken a unique project to promote and preserve the Kalbelia culture and at the same time uplift them economically, socially and educational so that not only their culture can be kept alive but also make them self-reliant.

The Desert Arts Research Centre is the brainchild of Yusuf Khurram, a renowned cultural anthropologist and theatre personality. After graduating from the National of School of Drama, New Delhi, the premier Asian drama and theatre institution.

We offer a three to six week Gap year Volunteer in Rajasthan India with nomad performers community in different parts of Rajasthan like Jaipur –Pushkar- Jodhpur –Baran Kota

Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
