| Abstract: |
India’s high population density
coupled with the rapid development
of towns, industries, and transportation
networks places an immense premium
on land. In this context, protecting
and preserving India’s rich built heritage is a huge
challenge. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is
responsible for over 3,600 sites, including many of the 30
sites inscribed by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites and
42 that are in the Tentative List (properties intended
to be nominated). Further, each State’s Department of
Archaeology is typically responsible for a few hundred
sites. As per the provisions of the Ancient Monuments
and Archaeological Sites and Remains (AMASR) Act
(1952, amended in 2010), these agencies recommend
which archaeological sites should be protected. The
recommendation for a site is based on its authenticity
and integrity. The policies proposed in this note seek to
strengthen the ability of these agencies to protect the
integrity of archaeological remains of our nation’s past
without stifling present and future development. |
