Read the following passage carefully and answer questions 46
to 51 :
Heritage conservation practices improved worldwide after the
International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of
Cultural Property (ICCROM) was established with UNESCO’s assistance in 1959.
The inter-governmental organisation with 126 member states has done a commendable job by training more than 4,000
professionals, providing practice standards, and sharing technical expertise.
In this golden jubilee year, as we acknowledge its key role in global conservation,
an assessment of international practices would be meaningful to the Indian conservation movement. Consistent investment, rigorous attention, and dedicated
research and
dissemination are some of the positive lessons to imbibe.
Countries such as Italy have demonstrated that prioritising heritage with significant
budget provision pays. On the other hand, India, which is no less endowed in
terms of cultural capital, has a long way to go. Surveys indicate that in
addition to the 6,600 protected monuments, there are over 60,000 equally
valuable heritage structures that await attention. Besides the small group in
the service of Archaeological Survey of India, there are only about 150 trained
conservation professionals. In order to overcome this severe shortage the
emphasis has been on setting up dedicated labs and training institutions. It
would make much better sense for conservation to be made part of mainstream
research and engineering institutes, as has been done in Europe.
Increasing funding
and building institutions are the relatively easy part. The real challenge is
to redefine international approaches to address local contexts. Conservation
cannot limit itself to
enhancing the art-historical value of the heritage
structures, which international charters perhaps overemphasise. The effort has
to be broad-based : It must also serve as a means to improving the quality of
life in the area where the heritage structures are located. The first task
therefore is to
integrate conservation efforts with sound development plans
that take care of people living in the heritage vicinity. Unlike in western
countries, many traditional building crafts survive in India, and conservation
practices offer an avenue to support them. This has been acknowledged by the
Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage charter for conservation
but is yet to receive substantial state support. More strength for heritage
conservation can be mobilised by aligning it with the green building movement.
Heritage structures are essentially eco-friendly and conservation could become
a vital part of the sustainable building practices campaign in future.

would be
(A) Financial support

(B) Non-governmental

(C) consistent
investment, rigorous attention, and dedicated research and dissemination of
awareness for conservation.
