NHD A cave research body has petitioned the Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh to halt the cement plant proposed to be set up by Lafarge in Meghalaya. It is a threat to numerous cave systems and wildlife of the area. The Jaintia Hills District where the plant is to be built is considered as a Mecca for cavers of the world; and several of them have been listed as the longest and deepest caves of the world by the National Cave Research Protection Organisation The eminent conservationist Bittu Sehgal says “To create appreciation of things natural in the sure belief that from appreciation would flow concern and from concern action”. Compared to the degree of attention to built heritage, the awareness about natural heritage is rather low. Intangible culture is the counterpart of culture which is tangible or touchable, whereas intangible culture includes song , music , drama , skills , crafts, and the other parts of culture that can be recorded but cannot be touched and interacted with, without a vehicle for the culture. These cultural vehicles are called "Human Treasures" by the UN . According to the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, the intangible cultural heritage (ICH) – or living heritage – is the mainspring of humanity's cultural diversity and its maintenance a guarantee for continuing creativity. It is defined as follows: Intangible Cultural Heritage means the practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, skills – as well as the instruments, objects, artefacts and cultural spaces associated therewith – that communities, groups and, in some cases, individuals recognize as part of their cultural heritage. This intangible cultural heritage, transmitted from generation to generation, is constantly recreated by communities and groups in response to their environment, their interaction with nature and their history, and provides them with a sense of identity and continuity, thus promoting respect for cultural diversity and human creativity. For the purposes of this Convention, consideration will be given solely to such intangible cultural heritage as is compatible with existing international human rights instruments, as well as with the requirements of mutual respect among communities, groups and individuals, and of sustainable development. This Convention - like the World Heritage Convention - developed a listing system (Representative list and Endangered list). The Intergovernmental Committee is currently working on criteria and procedures, and first inscriptions will be made in 2008 or 2009.
It was a 'historical' outing for students of six schools in the district on Sunday when they toured the historical monuments inside the Fort as part of a heritage walk organised by INTACH (Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage), Thiruvananthapuram Chapter, in association with Fox History Channel. The walk was held as part of 'My City My History' programme being conducted in more than 100 cities in India from September 1 to October 30. Around 60 students, many of them girls, accompanied by teachers joined in the walk which commenced from the historic Levy Hall. INTACH convener and former Director of Archaeology V. Manmadhan Nair and Mohanan Nair, senior conservation expert, led the walk. Students were shown the Krishna Vilasom Palace, Levy Hall, Kuzhi Maligai, Bhajanapura Palace, Kuthira Maligai, Kalari, Renga Vilasom Palace and Nithyachelavu Kottaram. A brochure prepared by INTACH explaining the architectural and historical significance of these palaces was distributed. INTACH coconvenor Shaji Krishnan introduced the 'My City My History' programme to the students. The students who participated in the walk were from St Teresa's Convent, Neyyatinkara; Army School, Pangode; St Roch's Convent, Beach; L'Ecole Chempaka; St Shantal and Sree Narayana Public School.

Word of mouth is a great instrument in popularizing tourist destinations. Perhaps much more powerful than any other publicity strategy. The Intangible Cultural Heritage Division (ICHD) is currently documenting the songs of the Jogi singers from Haryana. It has commissioned a pictorial book on Ayurveda with the help of AYUSH. A researcher from UK is engaged in transcribing earlier recorded Naga folk stories to be published both in the original language and in English. ICHD is also planning the publication of a 16th century Kannada recipe book translated into English. Life Member CD Singh from Pune sent Songs Remembered, a compilation of Folk Songs of Punjab translated into English by his mother Shan Gurudev Singh in memory of her husband. It started with just one poem sent casually to the newsletter of IAS Association Maharastra, and encouraged by her children’s enthusiasm soon cascaded into many more translations with a few illustration by her daughter! As the author explains “I myself had realized a while back that many of these songs are being lost or altered to suit a more cinebased audience. Also, many Punjabis, both in India and overseas, while enjoying songs, did not understand them fully…….I felt there was a real need not only to conserve these songs in their original form, but also to provide translation that retained the flavour and ethos of Punjab and its culture – of an era, perhaps, now gone”. A wealth of folk songs exists in every State, sung on occasions and passed down through the generations even in villages – rarely written down. In India there are songs for every occasion, touching every kind of joy or sorrow, or flirting with human foibles or traditional wisdom. Much is in the realm of intangible heritage that requires many more Shan Gurudev Singh to keep them alive. Ms. Nerupama Y. Modwel has joined ICHD as Consultant
