Public Private Partnerships in Conservation of Heritage Sites

Posted On: 04 DEC 2023 3:26PM by PIB Delhi

Government has set up National Culture Fund (NCF) in 1996 as a Trust under the Charitable Endowment Act, 1890 with an objective to mobilize extra resources through Public Private Partnerships (PPP) mode towards conservation of heritage sites, and overall promotion of India’s cultural heritage.

The progress of all projects approved by the NCF under PPP mode are regularly monitored by the Project Implementation Committee.

A donor/ sponsor while making contributions to the NCF can indicate a project to be taken to up for conservation or developing amenities around any monument along with specific location/aspect. As far as conservation of protected monuments is concerned it is carried out by Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) only and the same is maintained by them. All donor agencies comply with the norms set up by NCF and ASI.

This information was given by Minister of Culture, Tourism & Development of North Eastern Region Shri G. Kishan Reddy in Lok Sabha today.
