The document discusses heritage management and preservation challenges in the Indian context. It finds that while heritage management has recognized India's cultural significance, more needs to be done for preservation. Key challenges include lack of recognition, supervision and funding of heritage sites, as well as issues like encroachment, pollution, and improper management. Suggestions are made to strengthen awareness campaigns, lobbying efforts, and incentives to private owners to help overcome gaps and minimize challenges to better preserve India's cultural heritage.

Unfortune heritage in India is not valued and is grossly misused, abused, manipulated and commercialized. Manpower remains low and the capacity , capability and willingness to identify, manage and promote remains marginalised. India , as a nation, house enormous wealth of heritage with history spanning over 5,000 years need to identify and create capacity to preserve, promote and make value addition to its valuable heritage. It will help in not only creating awareness but will also help in promoting environment and ecology

Strategy and options for preserving indian heritageJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Heritage remains valuable possession for all communities, states and nations, because it portrays their glorious past . Heritage, unfortunately is lost in the haze of commercialization, economic development and urbanization. Majority of heritage is lost, because it was never identified to be valuable for communities. Majority of nations, have little capacity, capability, willingness and resources to identify their heritage, what to talk of their protection and effective management. Heritage is looked by majority of urban management agencies as a liability. Lack of adequate and effective framework, knowledge, understanding available to identify and manage heritage at local level has led to diluting its context . In majority of cases heritage management is considered as a government led agenda with least involvement of communities and people at the local level. Exclusion from the heritage framework of the communities has been the single important factor which has led to large damage and destruction to the heritage globally. In the larger interest of promoting understanding of our past and learn from their knowledge, understanding , it will be prudent to value heritage.
Based on the context and conclusion drawn from global practices, Heritage Conservation Strategy, should stand on four distinct pillars of Understanding, Positive Action, Developing Partnerships and Promoting Best Practices besides creating a dedicated cadre of experts in all planning/ development agencies for -identification of heritage; aiding, advising, assisting& guiding development agencies on heritage /conservation; Integrating efforts made by all stake-holders ; parastatal agencies, individuals, institutions ; involving communities; making heritage conservation people led movement; earmarking dedicated resources; involving academic institutions to create appropriate skilled manpower; positioning NGOs/CBOs engaged in heritage for preparing comprehensive vocabulary of heritage can help make India, having history spanning over 5000 years, globally recognized resource/ repository of Heritage Management and preferred tourist destination.

E. Bryan - Traditional Knowledge Digital Repository - Considerations for Domi...Emerson Bryan
Description:
Traditional knowledge (TK) is knowledge, know-how, skills and practices that are developed, sustained and passed on from generation to generation within a community, often forming part of its cultural or spiritual identity. The Kalinago Barana Aute has been a fixture on the landscape of Waitukubuli for years, however, aside from the direct encounter with the indigenous peoples, physical access to the Council, and limited literary and artefacts within various repositories such as the Documentation Centre, the Dominica Museum or the Ministry of Kalinago Affairs in Roseau. However, there is a clear need to expand access to not just the physical artefacts accessible via these repositories, but also through the development of a specific resource to support the work of the Kalinago Council to revive, assist and maintain Kalinago traditions through song, dances, herbal medicine and some aspects of the ancient Kalinago language. Such a repository would support Dominica’s ratification of the UNESO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, 2003. This support of a repository is especially critical for the continued survival of the Kalinago’s heritage, as the Commonwealth of Dominica is also a small island development state, and therefore has to remain competitive should it hope to realize the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs ), and especially under goals 11 and 13.
Also, the role and participation of indigenous peoples such as the Kalinago in global concerns such as traditional medicine, oral tradition, climate change, disaster risk reduction, tourism and sustainable development require great access to resources, including in cyberspace, to drive awareness of the Kalinago, as well as provide access to perspectives specific to Dominica, and the rich cultural heritage of these indigenous people .
Objectives:
The presentation will:
• Introduce some definitions on the subject of traditional knowledge
• Discuss the global and regional initiatives aimed at addressing traditional knowledge
• Consider some “Implementable” current best practices for developing a TK Repository
• Describe some necessary stages which must be considered for a proposed Kalinago TK Repository
Architecture is the platform where all cultures, heritages, traditions, and histories meet, through architectural conservation, the built heritage is prolonged and conserved by the planning of individuals or organisations that works solely for the purpose of conservation & preservation of Architectural heritage.

This study is a humble attempt to find out the gap in between what
has done so far and what should be done in case of heritage
management in Indian context. We have highlighted the present
status of heritage management in India and side by side, we have
identified few constraints and challenges in heritage preservation and
have suggested few suggestions at the end how to overcome those
challenges to ensure the sustainability of our Cultural Heritage
Resources.

5. LITERATURE REVIEW FINDS THE GAP IN BETWEEN
HERITAGE MANAGEMENT
(WHAT IS DONE SO FAR) AND PRESERVATION (WHAT
SHOULD BE DONE)
After understanding the cultural and economic significance of Indian heritage
slowly, people in India have started paying more and more attention its
preservation but still there are many hindrances, those are bothering the
preservation initiatives.
Supporting by Research Papers:
Timothy D.J. & S.W. Boyed (2003):
He mentions few heritage site issues like politics, management, conservation and
interpretation in his writings.
Mishra (2006):
He blames:
The increasing pollution at heritage sites due to unregulated tourist traffic,
Lack of admiration of the traditional architectures, cultures and traditions,
Inadequate investment from the local government and other private
stakeholders,
Improper supervision and plan for being the main challenges in heritage
management in the Indian context.
6. TO BE CONTINUED..

case of the preservation of ancient Indian heritages are almost similar.
7. Expert Opinion:
Conservation architect, Abha Narain Lambah, feels that India is still lacking

16. SUGGESTION: TO FULFILL THE GAP AND MINIMIZE THE
CHALLENGES
Better civic sense and a sense of responsibility.
Regular investigations to uncover the culprits and their supporters, involving in
vandalism.
Restrict the trade of illicit trafficking of antiquities in domestic and international level.
Ban on purchasing of illicit antiquities from the market.
Start awareness program on heritage preservation.
Strong lobbying with concrete steps and arguments for the inclusion of the other
heritage objects apart from the heritage elements, already have secured a place in
the UNESCO ‘WHS’ list the by proving ‘outstanding universal value.’
‘Freedom Walk’, Street Plays can be organized in heritage sites on all national level
festivities so that people can gather in large numbers to celebrate the events and to
understand its significance and respect pay homage.
The government should start giving incentives, soft loans to the owner of heritage
17. Publish brochures, newspapers and books on topic regarding heritage conservations
and disseminate information.
Displaying the ethnic products in the core heritage zone.
The officials, working in various departments related to heritage preservation and
management, should be motivated to take participation in various workshops where
their knowledge, skills and attitudes on heritage can be developed and enhanced.
(B. Shankar, Dr. C. Swamy, 2013)
Heritage awards can be initiated to recognize the conservation efforts made by
individuals, organizations, schools and media people.
Many experts have opined that earning the coveted UNESCO tag would not only
have ramped up the revenues but also help in keeping heritage free of encroachment
(Economic Times, 24 May 2015).
SUGGESTION
18. HERITAGE : A LINK BETWEEN CULTURE AND TOURISM
Cultural & Heritage Tourism Alliance, 2002 :
Though there is confusion in between the two terms ‘culture’ and ‘heritage’, as
there is no such clear definition that differs these two terms. Therefore, some
call it ‘cultural tourism’, some ‘heritage tourism’, some ‘cultural & heritage
tourism’ and in recent time it is being addressed as ‘cultural heritage tourism’.
HERITAGE TOURISM – A RESPONSIBLE TOURISM APPROACH
TOWARDS THE SUSTAINABILITY OF NATURAL AND CULTURAL
TREASURES OF A NATION
Heritage Tourism certifies that the
recognition of any noteworthy element
is important enough to be preserved
and maintained with proper care and
supervision so that, later on these
elements can be passed on to the future
generations – A Responsible Tourism
approach that should be followed by all
to protect their nation’s natural and
cultural treasures and to offer a better
quality of life for residents and visitors
19. STATUS OF HERITAGE TOURISM IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Heritage tourism has gained a substantial attention in the tourism industry in
recent years.
Heritage tourism is growing faster compared to other tourism segments
worldwide.
Heritage tourism is one of the fastest growing tourism sectors in the
developing nations and it is one of many potential tools for poverty alleviation
and community development.
Constraints are different in the less developed world from the conditions in the
developed world.

Luigi Cabrini (2002), Parker (2007), Günlü, Ebru, İge Pırnar and Kamil Yağcı
(2009):
Recent study reveals that almost 60 % of all of UNESCO‘s World
Heritage Sites are located in the developing countries.
Maneesh Pandey (2006):
It is beneficial for the whole of South-East Asia and South Asia from the
socio-economic point of view.
20. CONCLUSION
The Indian heritage is the result of the development of the people of
India in the social economical political and cultural fields over a period
of thousands of years. Therefore, it is the primary and pious duty of us
as a responsible Indian citizen, to ensure that no one can harm to our
ancient memorials and to the preserved places having immense
historical significance and values.
We should consider it our moral duty to maintain the purity virginity,
sanctity, and beauty of these places.
The Indian Government should involve Indian High
Commissions/Embassies to enlist such heritage sites/ structure within
a stipulated time limit. This work and then maintenance of heritages
can be done by our diplomatic offices abroad. It will add an extra value
to the prestige of India and pride of Indians.
