India is a country with a vast and ancient cultural heritage. Its preservation and conservation is a responsibility on all of us. A systematic and organised excavation, conservation and restoration policy for this legacy started with the establishment of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) in 1861, with Sir Alexander Cunningham as its first Archaeological Surveyor and later director general resulting in excavation of famous Buddhist sites such as Nalanda in the second half of the 19th century and of course the discovery of the Indus Valley Civilisation in 1921.

BHUBANESWAR: In their bid to push for the Ekamra Kshetra beautification project, the State government agencies appear to have turned a blind eye to conservation of the existing heritage.
A day after the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) came across an ancient structure, in scant regard to safety of existing heritage, JCB machines continued to level the land for further construction under the ambitious project.
