NEW DELHI: Scholars and tourists will soon have easy access to ‘authentic’ information about ancient sites and buildings including lesser-known monuments in different states, as the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) is set to launch a massive exercise to prepare a central repository containing all their details.
After methodical documentation, collection of information will be available on ASI’s websites, which can easily be seen by all users.
Union Culture Minister Prahlad Singh Patel, speaking during a function at Abdur Rahim Khan-e-Khana’s tomb recently, said that in January, the ASI would start a programme to record and put history related to all heritage sites and monuments on its websites.
