Delhi Government Approves Adoption and Conservation Schemes for 75 Heritage Monuments
The Delhi government has approved two schemes allowing private firms, NGOs, trusts, and institutions to adopt 75 protected heritage monuments for five years under the 'Hamare Smarak, Hamara Gaurav' initiative. Adopted organisations, called 'Monument Mitras,' will fund and maintain visitor amenities like cleanliness, security, and lighting, while the monuments remain government-owned. A separate Grant-in-Aid Scheme offers up to Rs 2 crore for specialised conservation and restoration. The initiative aims to preserve and promote Delhi's lesser-known and prominent heritage sites as cultural and tourism destinations.
