No central funds have been provided in the past five years, though periodic repairs and waterproofing are underway. A detailed project report for a Rs 30.33 crore upgrade, covering building conservation, modern HVAC systems, and improved exhibition infrastructure, has been submitted by the Chandigarh administration under the Museum Grant Scheme. The proposal aims to preserve collections and enhance the heritage site's facilities.
