Conversion of Heritage Sites into Tourist Spots in Maharashtra
Conversion of Heritage
Sites into Tourist Spots in Maharashtra
The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is
responsible for protection, conservation and maintenance of monuments/sites in
the country which have been declared as of National importance. Besides this,
providing basic facilities/amenities (e.g. drinking water, toilet blocks,
facilities for physically challenged, pathways, cultural notice boards/signage,
vehicle parking, cloak rooms, etc.) to the tourists visiting centrally
protected monuments are the regular activities which the Archaeological Survey
of India undertakes, as per need and resources. Improvement/upgradation of
these public amenities is a continuous process, however, there is
no scheme for it.
The details of 285 monuments/sites declared under
Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958 as of National
importance under the jurisdiction of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) in
Maharashtra is given below:-

Special Force to Protect Monuments
A committee of Ministry of Culture has recommended a Special
Force along with the help of tools and electronic gadgets for protection of
Monuments and Art Installations as part of a comprehensive security policy.
No time frame may be
indicated at this stage as it is still under consideration of the Government.
This information was
given by Minister of State for Culture and Tourism (Independent Charge) and
Minister of State for Civil Aviation Dr. Mahesh Sharma in a written reply in
Rajya Sabha today.
*****
Outsourcing the Maintenance of Monuments
At present there is no such proposal to outsource the
operational maintenance with monuments of World Heritage tag under
Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). However, ASI has undertaken conservation
and development of Humayun’s Tomb, Delhi in collaboration with Aga Khan Trust
for Culture (AKTC).
This information was
given by Minister of State for Culture and Tourism (Independent Charge) and
Minister of State for Civil Aviation Dr. Mahesh Sharma in a written reply in

*****
Tilting of Qutub Minar
As per the survey carried out by Survey of India, Dehradun,
the mean rate of annual change in tilt is 3.5 seconds per year w.r.t its base
centre. To further prevent this negligible tilt, the entire base of Qutub Minar
was water tightened to ensure that water does not percolate into the foundation
of the monument.
Some architectural
members of Hindu and Jain Temple were found during the course of conservation
& scientific clearance. Some of these members are on display in the Qutub
Complex and the rest are kept in safe custody within the same complex.
No excavation has
been carried out in Qutub Complex. Only scientific clearance/conservation was
carried out as per requirement.
This information was
given by Minister of State for Culture and Tourism (Independent Charge) and
Minister of State for Civil Aviation Dr. Mahesh Sharma in a written reply in
Rajya Sabha today.
*****
Implementation of High Powered Committee Report on Akademies
Government has already decided to implement most of the
acceptable recommendations of High Powered Committee on Akademies and other
institutions under Ministry of Culture subject to maintaining the autonomous
character of the Akademies and other institutions as per their Memorandum of
Association/Deed/ Rules & Regulations etc.
Necessary
orders/instructions have since been issued by the Ministry to Akademies and
other institutions to initiate necessary action for implementation of
recommendations concerning them after obtaining approval of their Governing
Body/Executive Council etc, as the case may be. Some Institutions namely
National School of Drama (NSD), Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts
(IGNCA) & Centre for Cultural Resources & Training (CCRT) have taken
approval of their competent authority for implementation of the recommendations
accepted by them.
