the following passage carefully and answer questions 15 to 20 :
Heritage
conservation practices improved worldwide after the International
Center for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural
Property (1CCROM) was established with UNESCO's assistance in 1959.
The inter-governmental organization 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 prioritizing 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 over emphasize. 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 mobilized 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.
