(My idea elaborated bear with please) AS i have mentioned we need to convey people the relevance or idea of the monument.for that practical approach would be we must have a brief and effective video to communicate the idea, for ex:- A video depicting who Mahatma Gandhi was, what he lived and died what he left to his fellow humans must be showed to visitors in Sabarmathi or raj ghat because only by understanding the persons and ideas can we truly appreciate our history JUST AN OPINION TNK U

Sir I believe that the question is not about what we do,about rather how we do it. You see when we talk about conservation and maintenance what we are doing is just putting a security and charging money just for a physical monument and what don't do is preserve the idea that the monument stands for a conversion of something must the securing of an idea meaning not just the particular place but developing the whole surrounding as the monument, do not renovate monuments but keep it relevant

I am from Maharashtra. A state with rich cultural heritage. The land of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj... There are 350-odd forts in Maharashtra and i must say they are all in very sorry state. No attention is being paid by Government to revive and preserve these cultural heritages. Our politicians are interested in taking aerial photographs of the forts but not interested in stepping up in taking care of these rich national heritage.. Sad.. hope the Govt pays attention..

we can create non-heavy apps for smart-phones where people can i don't know click a picture of a heritage building and get all the details of it, when it was built who built it, why etc. along with some anecdotes. it is the technological age we should embrace it, this will only happen if telecom companies are not controlling what websites we can access, or what apps we can download for free and which we have to pay for. so seriously let the internet be free. #netneutality

Listen Ministry , Every important railway station where foreigners flock , eg - Jaipur , Varanasi etc , must have a AAthiti Devo Bhava centre @ Platform No. 1 where only foreigners are allowed . They are given information about what all to see, where to stay , nearest police station number , Qualified Guides ( not locals ), cabs , Safety App for them ( where they register and can get instant help of nearest police station ) . All these facilities on standard local rates , no Buff charges .

India is a very ancient civilization. There is so much in India to be learned about & preserved. Our ancient monuments & heritage is completely ignored when it comes to preservation, restoration,or decoration. We see a lot of our ancient treasure in ruins or in a very sorry state. Kindly appoint a committee to review the situation and make a roadmap to bring back the ancient glory back to life. Tourism will flourish & generate revenue for further preservation.

INDIA is the great country not due to development and technology but it is more great then any country because of our fore fathers who followed impeccable traditions and culture and due to the great history, the great books RAMAYANAM,BHAGAVATHAM,BHAGAVAD GITA. As we are fighting to become DEVELOPED COUNTRY. In my view it is possible only through these books which makes our mind fresh leads to pleasant thoughts it to great ideas and finally to the DEVELOPED COUNTRY OF THE GREAT INDIA.

We know freedom is not begged, it is taken away.If u will take away or modify Net Neutrality in any way...The Anarchy will begin for sure. 1. Telecom companies should not be allowed to control the pricing for accessing different internet websites. 2. We WANT to be able to access anything, at any time, without having to pay more for it separately. 3. We DON'T WANT licensing for any applications we use. 4. Access to ALL content on the internet should be equally free accessible to everyone.

Awareness is very important in order for us to promote and preserve our culture as it also leads to understanding and respect for culture.Social media could be an excellent medium for it to have drives and increase in heritage clubs to attract the youth so that we can say in India there is much more than just Taj Mahal,As most of r knowledge is limited till 10th class history. Supporting Museums, program to beautify and restore ancient structure and raising them to be icons of the place.
