          Minister for Culture and Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation Kumari Selja has said that the details of monuments in the country taken up for protection and conservation under the National Culture Fund (NCF) are at the Annexure-I

 

In a written reply in the Lok Sabha today she said, there is no delay in carrying out conservation projects of          monuments and sites due to lack of coordination between the Government/ Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and sponsoring corporates.

 

The quality of work in any conservation project is not dependent on the source of funding.  Efforts are always made to ensure that the projects comply with acceptable quality standards.

 

The proposals received by ASI for protection of ancient monuments and archaeological sites for declaration as of national importance under Section 4 of the Ancient Monuments, Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958 is annexed as Annexure-II.
