questions 46 to 51 :
Heritage
conservation practices improved worldwide after the International Centre for
the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM) was
established with UNESCO’s assistance in 1959. The inter-governmental
organisation with 126 member states has done a commendable job by training more
than 4,000 professionals, providing practice standards, and sharing technical
expertise. In this golden jubilee year, as we acknowledge its key role in global
conservation, an assessment of international practices would be meaningful to
the Indian conservation movement. Consistent investment, rigorous attention,
and dedicated research and dissemination are some of the positive lessons to
imbibe. Countries such as Italy have demonstrated that prioritising heritage
with significant budget provision pays. On the other hand, India, which is no
less endowed in terms of cultural capital, has a long way to go. Surveys indicate
that in addition to the 6,600 protected monuments, there are over 60,000
equally valuable heritage structures that await attention. Besides the small
group in the service of Archaeological Survey of India, there are only about
150 trained conservation professionals. In order to overcome this severe
shortage the emphasis has been on setting up dedicated labs and training institutions.
It would make much better sense for conservation to be made part of mainstream research
and engineering institutes, as has been done in Europe.
Increasing
funding and building institutions are the relatively easy part. The real
challenge is to redefine international approaches to address local contexts.
Conservation cannot limit itself to enhancing the art-historical value of the
heritage structures, which international charters perhaps overemphasise. The
effort has to be broad-based : It must also serve as a means to improving the quality
of life in the area where the heritage structures are located. The first task
therefore is to integrate conservation efforts with sound development plans
that take care of people living in the heritage vicinity. Unlike in western
countries, many traditional building crafts survive in India, and conservation
practices offer an avenue to support them. This has been acknowledged by the
Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage charter for conservation
but is yet to receive substantial state support. More strength for heritage
conservation can be mobilised by aligning it with the green building movement.
Heritage structures are essentially eco-friendly and conservation could become
a vital part of the sustainable building practices campaign in future.
