Adopt A Piece Of History: How Delhi's New Scheme Aims To Save Monuments

The Delhi government's archaeology department is launching a new scheme called "Adopt a Heritage." The main idea is to get private companies, the public, and local communities involved in taking care of Delhi's historical monuments. The plan also aims to improve tourism and boost business around the city's lesser-known historical sites. Under this programme, any group or company can "adopt" a monument for five years by becoming a "Friend of the Monument." Big organisations like UNESCO, Aga Khan Trust for Culture, Dalmia Group, and INTACH Delhi Chapter were part of this discussion.
