The Ministry of Culture has taken several initiatives for preserving and promoting India’s rich cultural heritage.

The Ministry added that the first 100 days of the government reflect a strong and Relentless commitment to enriching India’s cultural heritage.

The Ministry added that India successfully hosted the 46th Session of the World Heritage Committee in Delhi in July this year and it proudly added Moidams from Assam to the World Heritage List.

This site, marking the first cultural property from northeastern India on the List, enhances the country’s  World Heritage tally to 43 properties.

The Culture Ministry also organized a Workshop for capacity building of private stakeholders including conservation architects and designers to contribute to the development of the Yuga Yugeen Bharat National Museum. This initiative aims to ensure synergy among stakeholders and create a unified vision for the museum.

The Yuga Yugeen Bharat National Museum set to come up at North and South Block as part of the Central Vista Redevelopment project will be spread over one lakh 54 thousand square meters, making it the largest museum in the world.

The Anthropological Survey of India and University College, London have also entered a collaborative agreement to enhance bio-archaeological research. This partnership will allow the study of human skeletal remains for advanced studies, including osteological, histological, and stable isotope analyses.
