Corporate CSR

A Future for our Past

Corporate Social Responsibility in the Field of Indian Heritage 

Visit our project on the CII CSR Gateway and get involved in protecting our  heritage 

India has a rich antiquity for its archaeological and natural heritage. This knowledge is essential to understand how social systems and technologies evolved in response to past environments. Heritage sites are however disappearing rapidly, primarily owing to human impacts and lack of popular awareness.

There is however, a lack of awareness of the many dimensions of India’s archaeological past in the wider community, that leads to extensive destruction of sites/antiquities through human impact.

We seek to develop methodsto bridge this gap through communication and advocacy amongst corporates and local stakeholders, maximizing benefits for both the community and corporate partner in the cause of Indian heritage conservation.

 

Our objectives: 

1. To offer advocacy for companies in terms of developing local heritage awareness at and around their project sites through display boards, site museums, etc. for engaging with local stakeholders;

2. To provide expert advise on national/international norms for heritage assessment and salvage/conservation prior to infrastructure development, and to suggest remedial measures ensuring protection of all interests;

3. Develop popular publications (online/print) filling the existing lacuna in knowledge of India’s vast archaeological wealth (sites, monuments, antiquities),

4. To develop online courses for laymen, including children conveying expert knowledge in creative ways.
