The Minister noted that in the 34*^ Meeting of CABAthe Hon'ble Prime Minister had given clear and focused direction to ASl ona number, of important issues, one of which is the need and importance ofcollaboration between academic Universities, Research Institutions andState Governments. The Hon'ble Prime Minister also stressed onpublication of long pending excavation reports and proper archivalmanagement of priceless glass negatives. The Minister desired themembers of CABA to deliberate on these aspects and that ASl take

'32r>-

necessary steps in the proper implementation on the points raised by theHon'ble Prime Minister.

The Hon'ble Minister expressed her pleasure on the submission of reportsby the five Sub-Committees formed in the 34^ Meeting and invited theCABA members to suggest and modify them before they are formallyapproved. The ASl was urged to, prepare a time-bound Action Plan to 'implement these recommendations. The Minister laid emphasis on theamendment made In the AMASR Act in March 2010, and stated that theamendments are in the interest of better protection and maintenance ofthe monument precincts and with this objective the amended Act alsoprovides for considering requests of the public to allow repairs in theprohibited area which was not previously available. The amended Act alsoprovides scope for the Competent Authorities to draft monument specificheritage by-laws, ■ based on detailed survey of prohibited and regulatedareas. 1t was stressed that the amended Act wii[ be a useful tool in .thepreservation of monument heritage and ensure that they receive muchneeded attention from both public and administration alike.

The Minister urged the ASl to launch a massive public awarenesscampaign and sensitize the citizens on the provisions of the Act. There is aneed to co-opt willingness of every citizen so that the enactment isappreciated by them in the large context and not perceived as a threat orimpediment to their existence.

The Minister noted that the second .major milestone is that ASl is steppinginto its 150'^ year, and ASl should host an International - conclave todeliberate on the issues of humanity's shared cultural heritage. Theconclave will not only reiterate our leadership role in the field but also helpin identification of specific areas of collaboration between different nationsand-ASl in the field of heritage conservation, research and management.The Minister suggested that ASl mount an exhibition on the "Rediscoveryof India - 1961-2011" so that the public may have a glimpse of India'sculture and civilization as uncovered by ASl in the last 50 years. She alsostressed that on account of the 150 years of ASl it is time.not only forintrospection but also for reworking ASI's vision, plans, schemes,approaches and its structure to meet the challenges of implementing theAMASR Act. She urged the CABA members to make positive suggestionsto ASI so that the 150*^ year celebrations do not become ritualistic but leadto positive actions with long-lasting beneficial effects.

The Minister noted the inadequacies which the tourists face at themonuments and insisted that ASl look Into the issue with sincerity. Asefforts are already underway for identifying the prominent monuments ofASl for public-private partnership, she urged the need to attend to themonuments in the rural areas which represent heritage of the concernedregion and Is the pride of the locals. The betterment of these monumentswould ensure their survival and also assist in tourism and local enterprise.She stressed upon the need of such symbiotic interlinkages whicheventually lead to generations of jobs and sustainable livelihood.

The Minister mentioned that the Planning Commission has constitutedworking groups for various sectors including Culture for developing the XiiFive Year Plan and have called for suggestions by end of October, 2011.The Minister Invited the members of CABA to assist In the task of

expansion and modernization of ASI. She stressed on capacity buildingparticularly in relation to implementation of the scheme at ground level.

There is also a necessity to develop , a National Charter on varioussubjects based on the International conventions and guidelines In thisregard. The National Charters can be on Conservation, Exploration &Excavation, Museum, etc. These charters can supplement the Acts andRules that are already enforced and provide a working methodology onvarious aspects related to heritage management which should be at parwith established global standards and make, the documentationinternationally competitive.

The Minister hoped for fruitful discussions and deliberations and extendedher appreciation to all the members who came to attend the meeting andto contribute for the archaeological managerhent In the country (AnnexureIII).

The following is the account oh the outcome of various agenda pointsof the 35^^ Meeting of the CABA:

1. The minutes of the 34^ meeting CABA held on 2"^ December, 2009were confirmed.

2. The minutes of the Five Sub-Committees were confirmed with the

' following recommendations;

A. Sub-Committee on Exploration and Excavation

The subjects like (i) Agro-archaeology, (ii) Hydro-archaeology and'(lil) Industrial Archaeology be included In the draft guidelines ofExploration and Excavation under Problem-oriented ResearchProjects. Historical Period and the study of climate and cultureshould also be included.

B. Sub-Committee on Museums

The members of the CABA were of the view that the term SculptureSheds should be used sparingly.

3. The minutes of the meeting of the SC of CABA held on 20*^ and 21®*September, 2010 were confirmed.

V

The Action Taken Report on the minutes of the 34^^ meeting of CABAwas confirmed.

Suggestions received from CABA members were taken up fordiscussion and the following recommendations were made; '

1. EXCAVATION

1.1 Need for revival of Village-to-Village Survey for location of■Sculptural remains, . documentation and protection: Theresponsibility of documentation of known monuments andantiquities has now been assigned to a new wing of ASI i.e.

- National Mission on Monuments and Antiquities, but no one isbothering about the unknown, scattered sculptural remains lyingin remote villages under the trees and jungles. Slowly andsystematically they are falling prey to smugglers. Earlier lot ofwork was done by Exploration Assistants which posts wereabolished. Not it is urgently required that the antiquities andsculptures lying in remote areas are collected, chemicallytreated and stored safely in sculpture sheds one each after 10villages and handed over to Village Panchayats formaintenance. Such a programme was earlier suggested toState Departments of Archaeology but majority of them haveneither shown any interest or are too sluggish.

Though the responsibility of saving our cultural heritage also lieson State Governments, ASI is the most important organization.Each circle and branch may be asked to locate, store andchemically treat such antiquities. For this job the services ofPost Graduate Diploma Holder students could be taken, whichwill provide them employment and field experience.

A.K. Sharma

The member was informed that the scheme has not beendropped but the pace has slowed down owing toinadequate manpower. ASI Is in the process of recruiting 65Assistant Archaeologists and after their appointments thescheme shail be rejuvenated.

1.2 "it is suggested that the financial assistance provided to variousinstitutions by ASI for the labour payment during excavationsshould also include the expenses that would be incurred for theanalysis of soil, faunal, floral and radiocarbon samples, sincemany of the institutions don't have such facilities and they needto pay for getting their sample analyzed."

Kuideep K. Bhan

This item was discussed and the member was informed thata Central Sector Scheme has been drafted in this regard to

V'

enable Central Funding to State Governments / UniversitiesI Research Institutions in archaeological explorations in theratio of 75:25 of the total cost as against the presentconcept of matching share grants.Also, a Centrally Sponsored Scheme to enable CentralFunding for States/UT's/Universities and ResearchInstitutions to preserve, conserve and develop protected'and unprotected monuments has been drafted and is underprocess. This would enable optimal sharing of resourcesand a participatory approach in conservation ofarchaeologicai heritage.

1.3 The CABA takes a serious view of the backlog of reports onexcavated sites which have either not been submitted or havenot been published. Sundry papers written cannot be passed off

■ as reports, which should contain full requisite data. Reportssubmitted on excavations carried out by ASI's own officialsshould always be subjected to proper refereeing beforepublication.

Shireen Moosvl

This item was discussed and the member was informed ofthe progress made by ASI In this regard. The item was then

> dropped.

1.4 Permission for conducting minor excavation on emergency as Inthe case of Salvage Archaeological Sites.

Chenna Reddy

This item was discussed and then dropped. The memberwas informed that permission of ASI is necessary in allsuch cases.

1.5 Celebrating the completion of 150 years of service rendered bythe ASI towards the investigation and preservation of thecountry's ' archaeological heritage. Steps towards fielddocumentation of sites.

K. Paddayya

The member was informed that concept plans are beingdrawn for various conferences and exhibitions on theoccasion of 150*^ year celebrations. The item was dropped.

1.6 In recent years, work is going on under MNREGA scheme allover the country. However, In this well meaning activity,perhaps due to ignorance or design to grab land, the ancientmounds are becoming the first casualty. Mounds are beingleveled indiscriminately and remains of ancient cultures arebeing destroyed. These remains are used to procure soil forfilling low lands or In activities like road making or other suchconstructional activities. A cognizance of this fact should be

7

^2^

taken and distinct authorities should be asked to seek approvalof the concerned archeoioglcal departments -to assess thecultural importance of such mounds, generally identified as na-chiragi areas on topo-sheets and maps. Any such destructiveactivity that is causing irretrievable damage to our culturalheritage should be stopped by monitoring the works undertakenby the local bodies which are indifferently disposed to theimportance of these remains. , A permission of Archaeologydepartments should be made obligatory before any such activitystarts.

3. PUBLICATION

3.1 A proposal having been made to the CABA to re-establish thejournal ANCIENT INDIA, the CABA needs to be apprised of theprogress made in this regard, and the arrangement that arebeing undertaken for its proper editing and setting its scope. Itis particularly important that results, of archaeological work donein the neighboring countries (SAARC countries plus Afghanistanand Myanmar) should also be brought within the scope of thejournal: and that adequate attention be paid in it to medievalarchaeology and to propagation and adoption of new methods ofarchaeologicai research.

Shireen Moosvi

The member was informed that the Ancient India - NewSeries is soon to be published for which sufficient numberof articles have been received.

3.2 The cessation of the publication of Epigraphia Indica andEpigrahia Indica - Arabic & Persian Supplement has adverselyaffected the pursuit of historical research, with many importantinscriptions remaining unpublished or being published injournals inaccessible to most Indian scholars. When reestablished, these journals should restore the practice followedin the immediate post Independence years of publishinginscriptions found in neighboring countries as well. A properscheme for re-starting both the journais should be prepared andpresented to CABA.

Shireen Moosvi

This item was discussed and it was informed to the memberthat necessary efforts have been initiated by ASI to revivethe publication of Epigraphia Indica and alreadyconsiderable progress has been made for bringing out twovolumes in a couple of months. Some inscriptions from theneighboring countries would also be Included in theupcoming volume.

4, SCIENCE BRANCH:

4.1 Chemical treatment of Paintings and Wooden art objects: Inour country Bharat innumerable.antique paintings and woodenobjects are presents in temples, palaces, Havelis etc., but due toutter neglect these precious antiquities are being wiped out. It is

10

•V

the duty of the Government to ■ save our Heritage for theposterity.it is therefore requested that ' these antique paintings andwooden art objects are documented, chemically treated andpreserved by the Survey, in view of paucity of staff services ofretired experts and others could be taken.

A.K. Sharma

This item was discussed and the member was informed thatnecessary steps are being undertaken in this regard.

4.2 The largest organization for Archaeology in the world does nothave C14 or AMS dating laboratory. This should be Integral partof the organization and the ASI seriously should move in this

- direction. ■ ^

This item was discussed and the member was informed thatASi is pursuing the matter.

5. NATIONAL MISSION:

5.1 Possible involvement of students of the Department ofArchitectural Conservation for documents of heritage sites beingundertaken by the National Mission on Monuments andAntiquities.

5.2 The National Mission .on Monuments dnd Antiquities" (NMMA)having the Archaeological Survey of India as its nodal agencywas started with mandate of making an inventory of allan^quities and built heritage sites of the country within a periodof five year.

However, as was already pointed out earlier that Village-to-Village Survey programme during the Second Five-year planperiod and the Registration of Antiquities under the Antiquitiesand Art Treasures Act, 1972 having more or less similarobjectives failed to complete their objectives in the absence ofproper monitoring. Is there any proper Monitoring with respect to

11

the NMMA and if so a comprehensive report regarding theprogress of the work under the NMMA may please be furnished.

K.N. Dikshit

The member was informed that NMMA has alreadydocumented over 5 lakh antiquities and the work Isprogressing in right earnest.

6. INSTITUTE OF ARCHAEOLOGY

6.1 . Strengthening the activities of the Institute of Archaeology.

K. Paddayya

This item was discussed and It was Informed that a draftproposal for restructuring the Institute of Archaeology hasbeen prepared and soon shall be placed for approval of aSub-committee for further review by the Ministry of Culture.

6.2 The Institute of Archaeology of the AS! is one of the premiers inthe country. It trains archaeologists of the country and preparesthem to serve the ASI and meet the future challenges.However, the Institute is handicapped as it does not have Itsown staff and it has to depend on other organizations to fulfill itsneeds. There is no other organization in the country parallel toit. The Institute therefore needs to be granted a special status.-It needs to be upgraded to the status of a National CulturalUniversity, on the line prevalent in the country like South Korea.I will be happy to provide more information on the CulturalUniversity of Korea.

Vasant Shinde

' This Item was discussed and it was Informed that a draftproposal for restructuring the Institute of Archaeology hasbeen prepared and soon shall be placed for approval of aSub-committee for further review by the Ministry of Culture.

6.3 The Institute of Archaeology was supposed to train 15 studentsevery year to prepare them for ASI jobs. In the advertisementfor the post of Assistant Archaeologists previously the Diplomaoffered by the Institute of Archaeology was made compulsory tobe eligible-for the post. However, recently when the posts ofAssistant Archaeologists were advertised, the Post-GraduateDiploma of the ASI was not given the same weightage aspreviously. In the recent advertisement the PG Diploma istreated as an additional qualification and not as a compulsoryqualification. The syllabus of the PG Diploma is designed insuch a way that he / she Is fully trained to take up a job in theASi. Diluting its importance may discourage students in future.Besides, the question will arise about the logic behind the

12

continuity of this course in the Institute and Governmentspending on each student.

Vasant Shinde

The member was informed that ASI shall look Into thematter.

6.4 Possible collaboration between the Department of ArchitecturalConservation and the Institute of Archaeology, ASI in the field ofjoint training programme for in-service personnel in variousdepartment of the Central & State Government which areresponsible for maintenance and management of historicstructures within the protected monuments and sites.

Joint training programme on various themes related tomanagement of protected sites and monuments such aspreparation of conservation guidelines, documentation andinventory processes and techniques, risk preparedness, culturallandscapes etc.

6.5 Frequent training and refresher programs for different categoriesmay be introduced.

Vibha Tripathi


6.6 Archaeological Survey of India has huge responsibilities toshoulder; there is a need to raise the efficiency of theorganization. Appropriate measures should be taken to keeppace with changing times. To keep abreast with the fastchanging world, new approaches of tackling problems related tothe subject should be developed. Training and refreshercourses need to be organized, especially for the new comers inthe system. .

7. PLANNING

7.1 Resolved that ASI, which has grown into a large organization,conducting conservation and preservation of monuments,research oriented excavations in Archaeology and Epigraphy,protection of our heritage in Archaeological. Museums and

13

administering a large number of World Heritage Monuments andSites, throughout the length and breadth of our National may beprovided functional autonomy, bestowed by an Act ofParliament, like CSIR, so that the Survey could functionefTfciently and deliyer results.

The work of ASI has widened enormously. The DG has to--,approach the Ministry for everything. This slows down theprocess of decision-making, Considering this aspect, I spoke onthis subject made a proposal for functional autonomy for ASIwhen the Hon'ble Prime Minister was in chair, in the CABA, lastyear and Hon'ble P.M. made a specific reference to mystatement and promised to favorably consider the matter. Thisis recorded in the minutes of meeting of the last CABA.

M.S. Nagaraja Rao

Ministry of Culture vide their Order of August 2007 haddelegated enhanced financial powers to DG, ASI ' forarchaeological and non-archaeological works. Accordingly,DG enjoys full power for sanction of conservation andexcavation projects and up to Rs. 1.00 Crore for OriginalWorks. Pursuantly, DG had also delegated powers tovarious divisional heads and officers. The status of ASI isas prevailing in other Government organizations of similarnature. So, the proposal of functional autonomy does notappear to be reasonable.

7.2 "Resolved that an Institute of Indian Epigraphy be establishedin Mysore, at the Directorate ,of Epigraphy, to train youngEplgraphists in all Indian languages in which inscriptions arefound in India"

India is proud for its rich Epigraphically Heritage in Sanskrit, andail Dravidian languages, Persian and all other Indian languagesfrom the time of Asoka to this day. We are discoveringinscriptions every other day. There is a dearth of Epigraphists.and there is only handful of experts today. It is our duty to theNation to utilize the services of these living experts and startcreating a cadre of Epigraphists. I spoke on this issue in the lastCABA, and was supported by other members of the Board.

M.S. Nagaraja Rao

This item was discussed and the member was informed thatat present it may not be feasible for ASI to establish anInstitute of Indian Epigraphy. However, it was also Informedthat the ASI is ready to extend ali necessary technical heipfor such activities undertaken by other agencies.

7.3 The Aurangabad Circle -of the ASI has a vast geographicaljurisdiction, vi/hich also includes the whole of VIdarbha. It hasbecome extremely difficult for the Aurangabad Circle to managesuch a huge area and as a result some of the monuments getneglected. It is high time the ASI thinks of establishing a

■ separate circle for the Vidarbha region.Vasant Shinde

This item was discussed for future consideration.7.4 The Archaeological Survey in assigning resources in money and

manpower to different ■ projects does not seem to follow anyoverall scheme of priorities, and assessment of major theoreticaland methodological problems. The ASI should prepare such adocument and circulate it widely for comment.

Shireen Moosvi

This Item was discussed. It will be taken by the relevantcommittee.

7.5 Central assistance / funds for archaeological / historical heritagepurposes to be granted to the UT with the direction to executeas per the laid down procedures.

8. CONSERVATION

8.1 Conservation or Misinterpretation (A case of the Stone Cutter'sMosque)

In the Indian Express, Delhi edition, dated 31 March, 2011, onpage 13, carried an article by Prof. Nayanjot Lahiri in which shehas criticized the kind of "reconstructions" carried out by theArchaeological Survey of India, giving examples of work done atstupas and Humayun's tomb. She has described such work as

■ 'mix of corruption and shoddiness'. It is regrettable that the ASIhas not furnished any defense of its work.

In this connection it is important to take note of a case of'conservation' where the entire evidence of malfeasance fromphotographs published by the ASI itself.

Fatehpur Sikrl has a 'stone-cutters' mosque which is held topredate Akbar's Fatehpur Sikri. Unfortunately, this monurrienthas been subjected to . extensive 'Conservation'. Thephotographs published in Indian Archaeology 1997-98-AReview, page 265 (Plates 181 and 182) show that on the south--east side the mosque had two openings both roofed by beams.

15

5^-

Now, however, a high wail has been constructed with a widearched opening, while the two beam-roofed openings havedisappeared. An entirely false feature has thus been attributedto this historic building thereby misrepresenting totally theoriginal style of construction. A large arched opening has alsobeen put in place on the right side (Plate 182), which does notexist in plate 181.

it is necessary that an enquiry be held into how this kind of'conservation' come to be sanctioned and on whom the

responsibility for this is to be placed. Strict action should betaken so that such acts of vandalism at the taxpayer's expenseare not perpetrated. Moreover steps should be taken to restorethe original structure of the building after obtaining expertadvice.

Shireen Moosvi

This item was discussed and it was decided that two

experts (one from ASl and the other from outside theorganization) will visit the monument and submit a report.

8.2 First and foremost Is the commonly prevailing problem ofindifferent status of preservation and conservation of preciousarchaeological remains including that of temple architecture inremote parts of the country. For example, during my recent visitat Bandhavagargh (District Shahdol in M.P.) I came across aseries of dilapidated stone temples of rather an early phase oftemple architecture which call for an urgent attention.These are in bad shape and may soon be in an irreparablecondition and we will lose them for good. This is not a singularinstance: there are several such examples in need of ourattention. Therefore, we need to make a concerted and urgenteffort to save such valuable monuments. We should have along term plan on this subject in a country like ours which is richin such remains. As a first step, there should be devised ascheme for documentation of the important sites andmonuments lying in different parts of the country. These shouldbe studied and classified according to their cultural importanceand state of preservation. Next, it should be planned to work onthem on a long term basis with projects' that may requireplanning, man-power and money. This may be achieved onlywith a coordination of central and state departments as well asother agencies and organizations like universities wherestudents / scholars may undertake this job of identification anddocumentation under supervision of some senior scholars. Onthe basis of the. merit, status and importance of sites /monuments appropriate measures should be taken to conserveand preserve these monuments of cultural heritage.

8.3 Renovation and development of the sites under AS! protection inthe UT in collaboration with the UT Archaeology department withcertain funding by ASI.


The member was not present .hence the resolution was notmoved.

8.4, A very common trend nowadays within the ArchaeoiogicalSurvey of India is the outsourcing of major conservation works.Is this the result of the absence of a professional Civil Engineeror Conservation specialist in the Survey? Have any measuresbeen undertaken to fill the post of the Chief Engineer (presentlyknown as Director Conservation) by a competent Civil Engineer.

■ The said post should not be identified with the post of Architect,also lying vacant.

This Item was discussed and dropped.

8.5 The Humayun's Tomb and Lodhi Gardens (protected by theArchaeological Survey, of India) have been receiving financial

, grants from outside agencies for a number of years for theirconservation. Have these cases been referred for ConservationAudit through a competent agency, if so, their reports may beplaced before the committee. Expert help may be solicited formCBRI, Roorkee or SERC, Ghaziab'ad in this respect.

9.3 The transfer policy of the Archaeoiogical Survey of India vis-a-■vis Superintending Archaeoiogist and Deputy SuperintendingArchaeologists requires a through streamlining as there arecases where senior officials are stationed at their respectivecircles/branches/zones for a number of years ieading tostagnation - Epigraphy, Prehistory and Underwater Archaeologybeing the glaring examples. A stipulated time-period needs to beset for the higher posts.

10. WORLD HERITAGE

10.1 The preparation of World Heritage Sites dossiers at exorbitantprices is being outsourced. Is there an expert committee forpreparing the list of sites and monuments for the preparation ofdossiers and evaluating them?

Chattopadhyay as scientific expert (he is nominatedin the Sindhu Lipi category, but is also a paleontologist) were unanimouslyelected. Dr. Rima Hooja's name was proposed for in the research societycategory, but it was brought out to the knowledge of the CABA that smce she isalready a member of NMA, therefore her name should not be considered fornomination in this Committee. The name of Shri K.N. Dikshit in research societycategory was proposed, but no consensus could emerge. In the StateArchaeology category, the names of Director, State Archaeology of J&K and shY S Rawat from Gujarat State Archaeology were proposed, but Shri ASharma objected on their names on the ground that they are not the nominêdmembers of CABA.

1. EXCAVATION

1 1 Earlier the State Government Director Is empowered to conduct tîngrexcavations. Now it is not in vogue. So on urgent and unavoidable

■" circumstances to know the potentiality of the site by conducting trialexcavation obtaining the.CABA permission, which is time taking process,has become an hurdle. Hence It Is sincere request to keep in resolutioriand kindly to permit the State Government Director to take up the trialexcavation at important sites.

DIRECTOR (ARCHAEOLOGY & MUSEUMS)GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA PRADESH

Member was not present. Hence, the resolution was not moved.

1 2 There is no Bye-laws of the CABA and It should be regulated andcirculated to all the members. SAJID SULEMANl

Member was satisfied with the reply and the resolution was dropped.

1.3 Note: Issuing of excavation license to the director of excavation;

"The director must have 3 or 4 years of experience of excavations" in thepast many directors had been given license of excavations who do nothave any excavations experience.

Prof. Mohd. NaseemBanaras Hindu University


1.4. Planned development of the Scientific Section of the Survey of India;

Despite the importance of scientific methods of dating, the country stilllacks adequate facilities in this regard; and one often notices the lack orscantiness of carbon / thermoluminiscence dates of remains and artifactsat several excavated sites. While recognizing the importance of thefacilities at the Birbal Sahni Institute, Lucknow, it is important thaf thefacilities should be expanded under the aegis of the ASl, especially CAccelerator, which facility Is not yet available in the country. It is,therefore, proposed that the ASi should establish all the necessaryfacilities, with adequate staff whereby reducing the costs of dating ofsamples for bona-fide archaeological work in the country.

The Archaeological Survey should aisq,deveiop an archaeological sectiontogether with its Chemical Lab. This eânsion too Is essential forarchaeological work in this country. It is requested that a plan for

installation of such facilities under ASI should be prepared and submittedto the Govemment of India for the necessary funding.

SHIREEN MOOSVI

Member expressed satisfaction with the reply furnished but shedesired that ASI should also develop its own laboratories.

1.5 Ancient Buddhist texts refer to Buddha's long journey accompanied by hisfavourite disciple Ananda, from Hastinapur to Gandhara via RohitakaMahanagar & Srughna. Both Rohitaka and Srughna have been identifiedas Rohtak and Sugh near Jagadhri. The propagation of Buddhism in thisregion was confirmed by discovery of stupas built by him at Tnanesar &Sughna.

Hiuen Tsang in 630-643 AD travelled in the area. He visited Srughna(Sugh) where Buddha had preached and converted a significant section of.its population to his faith. He recorded that Srughna is our importantcentre of Buddhism, adorned by Stupas & Monasteries, in view of this,historical importance of this area it is proposed the ASI may take upexcavation in this region as well as the ancient mount Rohitaka. .

1.9 Excavation of Sisupaigada, Chodngagada by excavation branch-iv of as!with headquarters at Bhubaneswar:

The site of Sisupalagarh dates back to 3^ Century B.C. The ancient urbancore of Sisupalgarh is considered to be one of the fortified cities of ancientKalinga, this site was declared as protected monument by the ASI inNovember of 1980. The excavation conducted so far is not enough, hencefurther excavation of Sisupalgarh may be taken up regular basis by theArchaeological survey of India, Bhubaneswar Circle in order to attracttourist as well as research scholars from archaeological & tourism point ofview.

The site of Chudangagarh is another important archaeological sitesituated very close to Bhubaneswar which Is dated back to Gangadynasty (11-12^^ Century). The site needs to be excavated. In this

I, -

connection, a D.O. letter has been sent to the Hon'bie Union Minister,Culture by the Hon'bie Minister Tourism, Culture & Co-operation, Odishato undertake the proposed excavation by the AS! through its ExcavationBranch-V.

The above sites need to be excavated in order to protect it from furtherencroachment so that this site will be considered as a prime tourist spotbecause of it's historicity and proximity to the Capital city of Bhubaneswaras well as to the Zoological and Botanical garden of Nandan Kanan.

DIRECTOR & ADDITIONAL SECRETARY

ODISHA STATE ARCHAEOLOGY

Member was duly informed of the procedure. However, memberswere of the view that the site has been excavated several times and

as per policy we should retain some unexcavated. portions of thesite. The resolution was dropped.

1.10 There is definite support from literary sources that not only the Rlgvedicpeople were literate, but also the fact that they used stylus or whatSayana called tikshnaagra dand or araa for inscribing on seals while theyused pen for writing on perishable soft material. The seals were calledvisvajyoti Ishtaka as per Kathak Samhita. Harappan seals bear Vedicdeities and some ideographs. As such archaeology must be read in thelight of literary information without compromising the austerity ofarchaeology.

BHAGWAN SINGH

Was taken up together with 1.12, and was accepted after discussion.

1.11 Many of the sites, mounds and monuments of country, especially in theGangetic plain, are likely to be vanished forever due to lack of awarenessin general public and are being continuously damaged by newconstructions of roads, factories, schools/colleges, agricultural fields, etc.There should be a national plan to document these sites after scientificexplorations and small scale trial excavations, before these are vanishedforever.

PROF. J.N. PAL

The reply was furnished and the resolution was dropped.

1.12 Archaeology and Tradition:

Indology and Archaeology represent faces of the same coin in an idealcombination. In most other countries with an ancient past like West Asia,China and Egypt, terms like Assyriologist, sinologist or Egyptologist signify'an expert in the study of human antiquities of the respective country,

10

focusing on evidences drawn from archaeological excavations.' Hovyeverterm Indology has been defined as 'the study of literature and history

of India.' The reason for this anomaly may be that an Indologist. in Indianparlance, has come to mean one who is not an archaeologist and is,therefore, not aware of the importance of the study of pottery and ofmodern dating methods. The situation is changing now. In post-independence India much of the writing of history is based upon thesynthesis of archaeology and tradition. Archaeological cultural sequencefor a given region is a paradigm with which the traditionai culture-framework of the same region (as from Puranic data) will have to becompared. The resultant congruency will have to be taken as the bestfitting restoration of the past. Traditional data in India does not necessarilylack authenticity of occurrence, but mainly lack chronological consistencyor cohesion. Archaeological data provide this invaluable corrective.

SHRi R.C. TRIPATHl

The member emphasized the resolution to be taken up together with1.12. Accepted after discussion

1.13 In the past years these had been over emphasis on excavating new sites.Other branches of archaeoiogy should also be given due encouragement.

PROF. MAHESHWARl PRASAD


1.14 On account of the over emphasis on excavation, publication of reports ofmany excavated sites is lagging behind. The ASI should make a timebound programme to clear the backlog, otherwise much of the historicalevidence would be lost forever.

PROF. MAHESHWARl PRASAD


1.15 The ASI is quite strict in granting permission for excavating new sites.However, it has been seen in several cases that excavation work is left tovery junior persons and when media persons visit the site they are briefedby these junior persons who are not entitled to do so. An inspection of theexcavation work by experts nominated by the ASI may be useful formaintaining the standard of excavation.

PROF. MAHESHWARI PRASAD


1.16 With regard to Standing Committee and sub-committee, it is suggestedthat an expert who has already served on a committee for two

11

1^)-

consecutive terms may not be included in that committee again unless it isnecessary due to his ex-officio position.



'1.17 Proper conservation and storage of antiquities:

During village to village survey and from various excavations scores ofantiquities of stone, metal, terracotta have been obtained. Aftercompletion of the excavation reports they have been stored in variouscircle and branch offices of the ASI.

Unfortunately due to lack of proper storing facilities and display most ofthe antiquities are kept in tin and plastic boxes or stored in steel aimirahsin dark and dingy rooms. Due to non exposure to proper natural light andtemperature generally physical condition of organic and metal antiquity isdeterioting day by day. For their longevity, it is necessary that all theseantiquities throughout the country should be kept in such a way that theyare exposed to natural light and moisture free atmosphere. It is alsonecessary that the organic and metallic antiquities must be regularlychemically treated.

In various branch offices many antiquities haye been reduced to brittlecondition and likely to be lost soon. It is therefore, necessary that invarious circle and branches of ASI proper storing facilities are providedand antiquity should be kept in wooden or plastic trays and properlylabelled. The store rooms should be well lighted and airy. It will also befacilitate easy access to scholars and students to study these antiquities.

It is suggested that taking into consideration vastness of collection andsize of our country at least six centers may be established, as for exampleat Chennai, New Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Calcutta and GuwahatIwhere proper buildings should be constructed with all scientific facilitiesfor storage, documentation and display. These centers should be calledAntiquity Museums. State Governments, Universities and NGO's shouldalso be advised to do likewise.

A.K. SHARMA

Member was satisfied with the reply but he suggested that more careshould be taken specially for the upkeep of the antiquitiescontaining organic materials.

2. MONUMENTS

2.1- The archaeological landscape of our country is far and wide and in fewmeetings it's difficult to address ail local and national issues. I suggest

that the members also be introduced and encouraged to interact with localAS! units to facilitate necessary actions. In this regard, continuousInteraction between the CABA members and the local level bodies wouldbe highly beneficial. ASl to send a note to all regional offices of ASI toinvolve and utilize the extensive knowledge of CABA members in allrelevant matters. ^r-N/

2.2 The Government of India may declare the temples of old Bilaspur city inthe Himachal Pradesh, submerged in the Govind Sagar Lake of BhakhraDam, the monuments of national importance under The AncientMonuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958 and theArchaeological Survey of India take necessary steps for thetransplantation these Temples.

SHRI ARUN SHARMA

DIRECTOR (LANGUAGE & CULTURE)GOVT. OF HIMACHAL PRADESH

Member was informed that the proposal needs to be prepared in theprescribed format and ASI will depute the team for the siteinspection in the next field season (March - June, 2015). Theresolution was accordingly dropped.

2.3 Proposal for reconstruction/ renovation of pond at heritage masroortemple, district Kangra, Himachal Pradesh. This property is part ofArchaeological Survey of India but the ancient pond of this property is inbad shape.

I propose if we reconstruct / maintain this pool which will help to bring this-heritage site to look like when it was built.

SHRI NAGESHWAR MANKOTIA


2.4 Protection of Monuments: the case of Char Minar. Hyderabad:

It has been reported that a modern structure has been constructed closeto Char Minar, the famous Qutb Shahi monument at Hyderabad. Thenewspaper Hindu has published photographs of Char Minar of 1957 and1962 which showed that no adjacent structure existed at that time. It cameup by 1990, since a photographs taken then and published in the samenewspaper shows it, apparently under the protection of the police. It isfurther reported that the ASI has stated in a response to the enquiry that"as per the AMASR Act 1958, Rules 1959", ... the construction of temple

adjacent to the south eastern minar of the Char Minar is considered by theArchaeological Survey of India as an unauthorized construction." The ASImay indicate what steps it has taken, or proposes to take, to remove the"unauthorized reconstruction,"

The case of Char Minar highlights the fact that little control is generallyexercised over what happens in the area around any protectedmonument. An area of 300 metres from the boundary of the momentshould be delimited, and it should be determined what kind of buildingswith what height can be built within it. „

SHIREEN MOOSVl

Member was satisfied with the reply. However, she was of theopinion that the ASI needs more power to deal with Illegal activitiesin protected areas but the CABA members Including Shri R.C.Tripathi and Shri C. Babu Rajeev cautioned that we should not try toassume powers of administration or law enforcing agencies. It.wassubmitted that during the ongoing process of revision of AMASRACT, the issue will be taken due care of. Accordingly, the resolutionwas dropped.

2.5 All States should be encouraged to do their own enumeration ofmonuments not under the management of the ASI. I know Odisha hasdone it. I also know that most of them are being looked after by StateArchaeology, but not too well. A couple of them were considered to beimportant to be taken over by the ASI. Three things can be done in thisregard. The State Archaeology Departments could be assisted withknowledge of proper preservation and maintenance of the, monumentsconsidered worthwhile. Secondly, those considered quite important couldbe taken over by the ASI and lastly, they could be also advised that thereare monuments that are not worth looking after because they are nearlygone! With these steps, Ministry of Culture would have a total picture ofthe monuments in the country being looked after both by the parentorganization ASi and supplemented by the efforts of the StateGovernments with ASI's guidance and help.

DR. SITAKANT MAHAPATRA

The reply was furnished and after discussion on the matter, theresolution was dropped.

2.6 Even though our ASI is one of the most competent organization of itsnature and our officers had redone Bamiyan Buddha and the monumentsof Angkor Vat, I feel with the march of technology we may have to learnthe newer aspects of maintaining monuments. Perhaps we may look atRome and Athens for certain additional knowledge for our officers.

2.7 Non-controversiai all religious monuments should be open to public.

Benefits for Implementation: - (ASI will be able to raise more funds fortheir projects. The Indian public would be apprised of our cultural heritage.These monuments can be showcased as a part of tourism in the country).

SAJID SULEMANI

The member was informed about the policy of the ASI in this regardand after discussion on the matter, the resolution was dropped.

2.8 The rent for shops inside or at the interior side of the monuments has notincreased over time. Every year the rent should increase between 5-10%.Now in these days, rates for film/serial shootings are so much low shouldbe increased.

Benefits for Implementation: - (ASI will be able to raise more funds fortheir projects. The shopkeepers would in turn, increase the prices of theproducts and will lead to more profit margin for them as well).

SAJID SULEMANI

The reply was furnished by the ASI on the point and was explainedto the satisfaction of the member and the resolution was droppedaccordingly.

2.9. There should be a percentage share, for Archaeology department in thedonations and money offerings in the regular temples in each state.

Benefits for Implementation: (ASI will be able to raise more funds for theirprojects. This practice would enhance the public interest in themonuments as their own money will be used for the ArchaeologicalProjects. This way, the old places of worship which have been worn outwith time can also be revamped).

SAJID SULEMANI

The reply was furnished by the ASI on the point and was explainedto the satisfaction of the member and the resolution was droppedaccordingly

2.10 Entry or booking of entry to each monument should be on a Mobile basedapplication or through a computerized system for security purposes. Andthere will be only one entry per person through the punching machine.

Time limit of entry to exit should be printed on the ticket.

Benefit for Implementation: - (ASI will be able to raise more funds for theirprojects. There will be jow or less hassle for buying the tickets throughcomputerized and mobile application. It will also help in keepingtransparency for the funds gathered and entry fee will be easier.

^ SAJID SULEMANI

The reply was furnished and after the matter was explained to thesatisfaction of the member, the resolution was dropped.

2.11 To declare the entire area of the Society as a site of archaeologicalimportance. If measures are taken to this effect it will be easy for us toremove all undesirable occupants from the premises of the Society.

It is necessary to build up an archaeological park in Kolkata where relicsof history can be displayed. It may be located at the place called Hastingson the Circular Road adjacent, to the Maidan. It was the place whereMaharaja Nanda Kumar was hanged in 1775 during the rule of VVarrenHastings- the first instance of the major exercise of criminal jurisdiction bythe English East India Company. This was a miscarriage of justicebecause with the help of his friend Sir Elijah Impey, the then Chief Justiceof the Supreme Court, Hastings comfortably removed his opponent. Thisis very important event in the history of the country. A couple of years agothere was a pillar called the Manga! Minar which was installed oppositethe Writers' Building in Kolkata in the 125^"^ anniversary of the great revoltof 1857. In this Minar there was a tablet in which the entire history of therising of Mangal Pandey was inscribed. The undersigned wrote thishistory at the behest of the Calcutta Municipal Corporation. This has nowb00n removed from its original site and kept in an obscure place. Thismay be retrieved and placed in the park.

The place where job Charnock landed in his third and final visit to Calcutta(modern Kolkata) in 1690 has not been properly determined andmaintained as an archaeological site. The Chamak site in Kolkata has tobe historically located and marked as an area of archaeologicalimportance so that a tourist spot can be created out of it. In the proposedArchaeological Park the history of the foundation of colonial Calcuttashould be recorded either in marble slabs or in other audio-visualarrangements.

In any case we propose the creation of an archaeological park in Kolkatawhich is of great necessity. Such parks will create a sense of historyamong the people of the country and keep us firmly attached to our ownheritage.

A great part of the Indus Valley relics which should have othenwise been16

-

in India's possession has gone to Pakistan. AS! should open negotiationwith the Government of Pakistan to get the relics back to India. This taskis to be taken up in tight earnest.

From the Asiatic Society here in Kolkata we propose that there should bearchaeological tours as a part of academic excursions for students inschools in India. Such tours may also be organized in association with thetourist departments of various state governments. Under the auspices ofthe ASl this programme should be instituted in the curriculum of allacademic institutions in the country.

Finally, we should like to propose the creation of a full-fledgedarchaeological cell in the Asiatic Society, Kolkata. Great many institutionslike the Indian Museum, the Anthropological Society of India, etc. wereoriginally parts of the Society itself. They were separated later and formedinto independent institutions. The Asiatic Society has tremendousarchaeological potentialities and very often smaller archaeologicalinstitutions in this part of the country seek assistance from us. Since wehave financial constraints we cannot normally proceed to cooperate withthem. In these circumstances we in the Asiatic Society do strongly feelthat there should be a separate archaeological cell in the Society underthe guidance and complete financial support from the ASl so that we canbe of some help to other institutions of the country where archaeology ispursued as a discipline.

The Asiatic Society has no infrastructure and expertise In the matter,therefore, ASl to take up the matter of surveying archaeological sites and

. do the needful to satisfy the aspirations of the people and theadministration of Dakshin Dinajpur.

THE ASIATIC SOCIETY, KOLKATA

It was informed that the resolution is in the name of Shrl Ranjit Senon behalf of the Asiatic Society and not Shri Manbendu Benerjee asmentioned. Necessary corrections were made accordingly. However,the member was asked to send a formal proposal for considerationon the resolution was dropped accordingly.

2.12 PROTECTION OF MONUMENT BY ASl IN ODISHA:

78 monuments and archaeological sites have been protected by ASl inOdisha. 218 monuments have been protected by Odisha StateArchaeology. Besides, 2706 monuments have been documented byINTACH in Odisha. Odisha has less number of centrally protectedmonuments in comparison with other States although State of Odisha isdotted with large number of ancient monuments. Therefore, it issuggested that more State Protected monuments of Odisha havingarchaeological, architectural, sculptural, historical and religious

B.M. PANDE

Member was satisfied with the repiy. It was assured that follow upaction will be taken in the matter. The resolution was droppedaccordingly.

3.3 ASI should take urgent steps for preparation and publication of detailedcritical catalogues- of the objects in the Central Antiquities Collection aswell as all the Archaeological Museums located at differentsites/monuments under the jurisdiction of ASI. This would help in

' documentation and record of" objects/ antiquities and will make availablethe data to research scholars. This will aiso give incentive to thearchaeologists in-charge of the respective museums in whose name thecatalogue may be published. B.M. PANDE

Member was satisfied with the reply. It was assured that follow upaction will be taken In the matter. The resolution was droppedaccordingly.

4. PLANNING

4.1 There should be zone-wise guest-houses for Archaeological Survey ofIndia. And there should be maximum 05 rooms available per guest houseand 50 rooms at the capital of India. ,

Benefits for Implementation: (The funds gathered will be used foremployee welfare so as to regulate the travel cost of Govemment Guesthouse at different tourist location can be used for tourism purpose as wellwhere the monuments are located. This would lead to more exposure tothe cultural heritage as people will have place to stay at less andeconomical cost)

SAJID SULEMANI

The resolution was dropped after discussion in the meeting.

4.2 Creation of separate Circle for Srinagar:

There was a full-fledged Circle in Srinagar sometime back, which wasshifted to Jammu during the turbulent period. As the situation hasimproved considerably in the Kashmir Valley and there are many sites

■ and monuments in that area, there is a need of a full-fledged Circle. TheASI needs either to establish a new one or shift the present one from

5. CONSERVATION

5.1 Possibility of framing a 'Comprehensive Conservation Policy', which wouldenvision integrating structural conservation of a monument with theconservation of its immediate ambiance and bio-environment, which mayinclude such diverse components as botanical properties, waterbodies/streams or river fronts and other geo-morphological topography ofhistorical, archaeological or cultural relevance.

SHRI CHANCHAL KUMAR

SECRETARY (ART. CULTURE AND YOUTH)GOVT. OF BIHAR


5.2 Developing a preservation-cum-documentation policy for such historical/archaeological/ heritage monuments/ buildings/ structures as have eitherso far not been declared as a protected monument by the relevant acts ofthe central/ state governments or cannot be declared as protected onedue to the conditions provisioned in them. Despite their limitations, manyof these heritage properties are worth preserving owing to their artistic,architectural or historical merits.

The proposed policy would formulate ways and means as to how suchimportant heritage properties can be conserved as well as thoroughlydocumented for the posterity. Efforts may as well be made to utilize thenon-governmental agencies, educational institutions and local self-governing bodies at different levels in this entire exercise.

The Central Government may device schemes (including the centrallysponsored ones) to this effect in which the state government may act as afacilitator, the expenses of which may be borne either entirely by thecentral government or shared partially with the state government in theproportion as decided.

5.3 Conservation Policy of the ASl: A committee was constituted to draw up areport on the Conservation Policy to be pursued by the ASl. The draftstatement of "National Conservation Policy for Monument, ArchaeologicalSites and Remains, Protected by the ASl" drawn up and submitted in May1913. It has, however, not yet been issued and so the rules and

/■"conditions for proper conservation and protection that it contained remainunenforced. CABA should call upon the authorities' administration to issuethe recommended rules and ensure their rigorous implementation.

5.4 Conservation/Reconstruction: Fatehpur Sikri

The photographs of the Stone Masons' Mosque, Fatehpur Sikri, publishedin Indian Archaeology 1997-98- A Review Plates 181 and 182 showedthat two beam-roofed openings had been converted into a single sleekarcuate one, thus destroying important architectural evidence. Taking aserious view of the matter, CABA "decided that two experts (one from ASIand the other from outside the organization) will visit the monument andsubmit a report" (vide Minutes of the meeting of CABA of 27-28 May, 2011item 8.1). The report ought to be submitted to CABA with clear statementfrom ASI as to how it proposes to rectify the error and identify thoseresponsible for it.


The member was satisfied with the reply and it was agreed that thereport of the Committee will be placed before the CABA in the nextmeeting.

5.5 The State Government has declared 109 monuments and sites so far asState Protected. The ASI may extend support by providing (a) thetechnical guidance towards conservation of the state protectedmonuments and sites, (b) One archaeological engineer of Kolkata Circleof ASI may be designated as nodal officer for preparing and vetting of

5.7 STRENGTHEING & CONSERVATION OF SUN TEMPLE, KONARK(ODISHA): ;

The Sun Temple, a World Heritage Monument was built in 13*^ CentuÂ.D.. which is famous for its sculptural and ornamental works in the world.This monument faces conservation problems like saline ingress, waterlogging, erosion and other vegetative intrusions into the temple fabric. Themain temple has collapsed but the "Pidha Deula" i.e. "Jagamohana isintact. The ASI is the custodian of the monument since 1939. It has beendeclared as a "World Heritage Monument" by UNESCO in 1984. Duringthe year 2010, an International Conference was held on 20 and 21®March for effective conservation of the monument. It is recommended totake up short term and long term measures. Accordingly, a "SteeringCommittee" was formed under the Chairmanship of DG, ASI. Thismeeting was held on 17.6.2011. Under the Steering Committee, two Sub-Committees inspected Sun Temple Konark on 10^^ July, 2011. TheCommittee recommended various measures.

A meeting was held by Hon'ble Chief Minister, Odisha with DG, ASI on-various issues relating to conservation, preservation and protection ofarchaeological sites/ monuments of Odisha on 16.2.2012. DG, ASIinformed that Technical Committee has inspected the Sun Temple,Konark and discussed steps being taken for structural stability anddrainage. For structural stability of Sun Temple, Konark and to bring outthe filled sand from the Jagamohana, CBRI, Roorkee was entrusted forendoscopic photography, 3-D Laser scanning ■ and other scientificexaminations of the structure so as to ascertain the interior reality andalso to identity problems related to the structure. Similarly, IIT;Bhubaneswar has been entrusted for designing of scaffolding for SunTemple.

Principal Secretary to Govt. Deptt. Of Tourism and Culture had requestedto the DG ASI to take steps for better up keep of this world famousmonuments in letter No.728/TC. Dt. 26.4.2013 with a copy to Hon'bleUnion Minister, Culture in memo no.730/TC dated 26.4.2013.

5.8 CONSERVTION MEASURES OF WORLD FAMOUS SHREEJAGANNATH TEMPLE:

The Shree Jagannath Temple, Puri has been a centrally protectedmonument under Archaeological Survey of India (AS!) since 1975.

It is an important living shrine of the country. As per decision taken duringthe visit of Union Secretary of Culture, all conservation of Shri Jagannathtemple such as completion work of SIngha Dwara, conservation work ofJagamohan, resetting of parikrama of inner Bedha, removal of scaffoldingmaterials and conservation of important sensitive subsidiary shrines insidethe temple complex need to be completed as per the time line given bythe ASl. Gommissioner-cum-Secretary to Govt. Department of Tourismand Culture had requested the DG, ASl to take steps for better up keep ofthis world famous monuments in D.O. No.4945/TC dated 24.7.2014.

DIRECTOR & ADDITIONAL SECRETARYODISHA STATE ARCHAEOLOGY


5.9 The centrally protected monuments have been receiving financial grantsfrom the outside agencies for a number of years for conservation. Havethese works being referred to conservation/work audit by a competentagency? If so the reports may be placed before the committee and if not,the reasons may be stated.

K.N. Dikshit

The member was satisfied with the reply but insisted thatcommercial audit of the agencies should be done. The resolutionwas dropped.

6 ADMINISTRATION

6.1 The salary of the employees of the ASl is very less as compared to otherdepartments of Central Government and there is a lack of staff in allzones and it should be Increased.

SAJID SULEMANI


6.2 ■ Change of Recruitment Rules for recruitment of Assistant Archaeologist:

The Post-Graduate Diploma offered by the Institute of Archaeology,Archaeological Survey of India, is being offered with a view to preparingarchaeologists for the entry into Archaeological Survey of India at the

24

■VAssistant Archaeologist level. In the earlier recruitment rules the Diplomaoffered by AS) was made as essential qualification for the recruitment ofAssistant Archaeologists. However, recently the Diploma has been madeoptional and therefore it has lost its significance. It may be mentioned thatthe Government of India is spending a lot in training these students for theservice in the ASI. It is, therefore, suggested that the ASI should revise itsrecruitment rules again and include P.G. Diploma from the ASI as acompulsory and essential qualification at the entry level, e.g. AssistantArchaeologist level.

PROF. V.S. SHINDE


6.3 The Archaeological Survey of India does not have a proper transfer policyof its officers. There is a need to recognize specialization of each officerand transfer him to such a position where he can use his specializedknowledge for the improvement of the functioning.

PROF, V.S. SHINDE


6.4 It is observed that the Archaeological Survey of India is not fully equippedwith proper trained conservation staff at lower or at middle level. There isabsolute necessity to fill up the posts of Assistant SuperintendingArchaeological Engineer (ASAE)/Deputy Superintending ArchaeologicalEngineer (Dy.SAE) and Superintending Archaeological Engineer (SAE)with the minimum qualifications of degree in civil engineering falling thatwe will not be able to do proper justice to our centrally protectedmonuments.

K.N. DIKSHIT


6.5 A very common trend nowadays within the Archaeological Survey of Indiais the outsourcing of major conservation works. In this the result of theabsence of a professional Civil Engineer or Conservation specialist in theSurvey? A post of Architect is also lying vacant in the ArchaeologicalSurvey of India which should also be filled up in view of present dayrequirement.

7. WORLD HERITAGE

7.1 The Heritage City Bishnupur should be declared as World Heritage Sitebv the UNESCO. The ASl may recommend strongly about the demand.The fortified city Bishnupur in Bankura district of West Bengal was thecapital city of the Mailas during the mediaeval and late mediaeval period^This ancient city has a large number of monuments, tanks, wells andfortification-walls. The terracotta temples are having great architecturalvariations with exhibition of all types of architectural pattern, which is aunique experiment of building construction. The decoration of the outerwall of the temples with exquisitely carved terracotta figures and motifsare unparallel. The modern constructions here and there throughout thetownship are rapidly changing its heritage characterwhole area of Bishnupur must be declared protected as World HeritageSite. The ASl can play an important role by recommending the demand otthe State. BHATTACHARYA, IAS

8. ANTIQUITY

8 1 ASl should not issue Non-antiquity Certificates on photographs or onpaper. It is suggested that such objects which are declared as non-antiquities are sealed in the presence of Customs officials so that copy orreplica/reproduction is not substituted by original after obtaining Non-antiquity Certificate from ASl.

ASl has been issuing the Non-antiquity Certificates without charging ariyfee. Since the Non-antiquity Certificate is issued for objects \vhich are soldand in most if not ail cases are meant for export, ASl should charge feefor each object which is examined by the committee of experts.

B.M. PANDE


8.2 AS! should actively pursue cases regarding theft of sculptures/antiquities;in particular where the stolen material has been traced abroad, it shouldbe followed up seriously. There should be updated information aboutstolen antiquities and the matter be taken up in a forceful manner ratherthan allowing the matter to remain in files.

B.M. PANDE

The member was satisfied with the reply and the resolution wasdropped. '

8.3 AS! has a vast collection of excavated materials, which is in the PuranaQila. It is suggested that a senior level committee of Archaeologists fromASI, should study and propose improved scientific storage of thesematerials, so that they niay be easily available to scholars..

KOMALANAND

Member was not present. Hence the resolution was not moved.

8.4 The recovery of many archaeological stolen pieces from Customs andpolice headquarters in many states where these are presently lying. It isproposed that these should be recovered under supervision of RegionalDirectors of AS! & restored to the temples & other state Museums or behanded over to the National Museum .

8.5 NEED FOR PROPER CARE OF ANTIQUITIES:

In Archaeological Survey of India most of the antiquities are housed in thecentral antiquity section at Purana-Quila whereas in Circles and Branchesantiquities obtained from explorations/excavations are stored at theirheadquarters.

In both the cases due to lack of proper accommodation these pricelessantiquities are stored in dark, dingy rooms and boxes instead of showcases. Hardly any place is air-conditioned. Due to humidity and extremetemperatures organic antiquities are deteriorating and weathering.

^. In order to save these antiquities, it is required that:

(a) Proper accommodation with modern display method including air-conditioning the provided so that they could easily be available forstudy by the students and scholars and could be saved for theposterity.

(b) Either ail the antiquities should be, site wise, accommodated in acentral place like Delhi or Nagpur as their number is increasingyear by year due to more excavations.

2. The conditions in State Departments of archaeology, Universities andthe research organizations is still worse as neither they have got properaccommodation nor facilities, in order to have firsthand knowledge ofthree experts including one officer from Archaeological Survey of India beconstituted to visit state departments. Universities and ResearchOrganizations and prepare a status report of antiquities within six monthsand submit to the Director General, Archaeological Survey of India so thatthey could be advised and provided with funds for proper upkeep ofaritiquities.

Each organization including the above mentioned ones cold be asked toget them documented and also get them chemically treated. List ofdocumented antiquities should be published which will ultimately lead to aNational Register of antiquities.

A.K. Sharma

Member was satisfied with the reply but he desired that more care isneeded to be taken in respect of storage of objects of organicmaterials.

9. MUSEUM:

9.1 Proposal for heritage museum at Shakti Peeth Nagar Kot dham, ShreeBajeshwari Devi Mata Mandir Kangra;

In 1905 earthquake, this Shakti Peeth main mandir was badly damageand it was reconstructed. After this lot of heritage statues/ idols of 11-12centuries, pillars of temples, parts of main doors and other heritageconstruction material has been kept on different parts of temple.

More over lot many heritage goddess bending and other ancientdecorative ornaments has been kept in different almiras. This temple alsohave lot of ancient paintings which due to space constant has been keptin lot many different parts of temple under locked key. This Shakti peeth isone of the famous Shakti peeth of northern India and visited by lakhs ofpilgrims every year.

28

■J1 strongly proposo that we should construct a museum at this Shakti Peethwhich will enllght lakhs of people with the ancient heritage culture of oursociety.

SHRl NAGESHWAR MANKOTIA


9.2 Suggestion; the AS! should set up a Museum of Epigraphy perhaps inKarnataka or Delhi.

10. NATIONAL CULTURAL FUND:

1.0.1 Inadequacy of funds is well-known subject. The creation of the NationalCultural fund was to supplement the resources. It appeared not muchfunds are flowing into it. I feel that perhaps you can think of convening ameeting of the heads of the Corporate Sectors after Secretary, Culturehas taken up the matter with them from his level and addressed them.Now Corporate Social Responsibility is a buzz word. I think we shouldemphasize an equally important concept of Corporate CulturalResponsibility. Surely, the Corporate Sector owes to the nation to do theirbest in their direction. ^ ^



10.2 Archaeology and People - Archaeology, as a scientific process forunderstanding our past, needs to be explored much widely and actively.This gains urgency due to the rapid developmental pace of large scaleinfrastructural, industrial and housing projects across the country, which is

29

extinguishing our past. This expansion of archaeological activity willrequire both human and financial resources, in which organisationsoutside the Government structure should also contribute. As we areaware, public funds are scarce and limited. -Currently, both resources and execution are confined to academic andprofessional institutions only, and a rather limited opportunity is availablefor involving communities in archaeological investigations.

It is recommended to popularize archaeology through the participation ofcommunity and NGOs (like INTAGH). Alongside the professionals fromASI and academic institutions, there are several amateurs in the countiywho are interested and willing to get involved, undertake or assist inarchaeological excavations. They should be encouraged to wôrk withthese professionals at archaeological sites. We need to think about howthe contribution, energy and resources of these amateurs can be includedin the expanded scope of archaeology?

On its own. to boost this idea, INTACH has launched a researchscholarship programme in the field of archaeology and related fields Theorants will be offered to individuals who wish to undertake advanced andinter-disciplinary research that aims to advance knowledge andunderstanding of archaeology and related fields. The broader aim is tobring out past closer to people and their conternporary experience.INTAGH could also provide training and capacity building for amateurs, sothat they can work with professionals in this field, by offering specializedcourses and on-site practical sessions.

it is further requested that this forum of eminent experts, could discussand share their views on how to take this recommendation forward.

MAJ. GEN (RETD.) LK. GUPTAGHAIRMAN, INTAGH

The member was satisfied with the reply but he desired that theissue may be discussed separately which was agreed to and theresolution was dropped accordingly.

11. CENTRAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL LIBRARY

11.1 The Gentral Archaeological Library (GAL) of.the Archaeological Survey ofIndia (ASI) has in its collection a treasure-trove of books and journalsincluding some rare books, journals and portfolio volumes. Some of thebooks In GAL date back perhaps to even the seventeenth and eighteeritncentury and are very valuable and precious. Verification of the GALcollection was carried out sometime in mid-1960. It is not known if anysuch physical verification of GAL collection has been done thereafter. It istherefore suggested that full and complete verification of GAL be carried

■~Jout on priority basis. It is also suggested that full and complete verificationis also carried out in the libraries of the Institute of Archaeology, Circlesand Branches of ASl.

B.M. PANDE

Member was duly informed and the resolution was dropped.

11.2 The CAL, the Central Antiquities Collection (GAC) of ASl, the Photo andDrawing Section (as well as those in the Circles and Branches) arevaluable assets of ASl. It would be in the fitness of things if the materialcontained therein is properly catalogued. Members present here may beaware of the Catalogue of CAL of ASl prepared by D.N. Sharma, the thenLibrarian and published in 1940. Similarly, lists of photo-negatives anddrawings were also being published from time to time.It is therefore suggested that ASl take up preparation of catalogue of CALand also list of photo-negatives and drawing.

B.M. PANDE

Member was duly informed and the resolution was dropped.

11.3 Concrete steps should be taken for construction of building for ASl, in anexclusive campus where all the wings of AS! including the CAL, CAC, theInstitute of Archaeology and technical wings like the Photo, Drawing andSurvey Sections are housed together. This was also proposed in theprevious meeting of CABA and it is not known if any progress has beenmade in this matter.

B.M. PANDE

Member was duly Informed and the resolution was dropped.

12. INSTITUTE OF ARCHAEOLOGY

12.1 it was suggested in the earlier meeting that the Institute of Archaeology beupgraded to a National Centre for Heritage Studies. It seems that there ishardly any progress in this direction. Besides; it was also suggested thatthe Institute should have its own facility for teaching and researchpurpose. It is suggested that the ASl can collaborate with institutions likeDeccan College for the training of its officers and furthering its academicagenda.

PROF. V.S. SHINDE


12.2 The institute of Archaeology is doing a good job of training student inarchaeology by its Diploma in Archaeology course. Nonetheless there isalso a need of short term courses (Foundation Course and RefresherCourse) of 2-3 months in different branches of archaeology for theuniversity and college teachers.



13: WIISCELLENOUS

13.1 It has been observed that most of the States in India are havingAdministrator from civil services as Director of the State Department ofArchaeology/Museum. A resolution may be adopted in this regard asthese posts of Directors be filled up by professionals so that properdirectives could be issued to the technical staff for documentation ofantiquities, protection of monuments, excavation/ exploration andpublication of new discoveries. The technical staff at the lower level willnever come to a position where the archaeology and museum could bedeveloped on professional lines.

K.N. Dikshit

There was consensus among the CABA members that onlyprofessionals should be given the charge of ASI and StateDepartments of Archaeology.

1 of Consideration of the desirability of entrusting the work of preservation/page restoration of monuments in India to agencies other than the180. Archaeological Survey of India:

The Archaeological Survey has been engaged in the work of preservation/restoration of monuments for well over a century and has developed strictrules for carrying out the work. This involves, among other things,intensive research in the changes affected in the monuments over time,and the effort to use materials originally employed by the builders in itsown repair work. The principle also needs to be followed that the'restored' portion of the building is clearly demarcated from the originalportion still remaining. The ASI has accurhulated enough experience to beinvolved in preservation/ restoration work even outside India, notably inCambodia.

The entrusting of the preservation / restoration work In Humayun's tomb, aWorld Heritage building, to a private agericy like the Aga Khan-Foundation, must now be properly assessed. Prime facie, all the ruleshave been violated by the Foundation. Modem materials and mortar havebeen used so profusely as to give parts of this sixteenth- century building

32

a very modem appearance. The 'restored' parts are not at all demarcatedand so the viewer has no means of knowing where a modern cotour-scheme has been imposed. These can be seen by the photographs of thegateway to the Tomb, taken before and after the Aga Khan Foundationshandwork.

It is Important, therefore, to hold an expert inquiry into what has beendone at Humayun's tomb, and to refrain from giving any pnvê agencythe work of preservation / restoration of monuments until stnct rules forthe work and rigorous monitoring system are in place.


The matter was discussed in the meeting of the CABA. The membêxpressed their anguish ■ over the reported violation of theconservation norms by Aga Khan Trust for Culture at HumayunTomb. CABA was informed that a Core Committee has since beenconstituted headed by ADG (Archaeology) to monitor theconservation work being undertaken by AKTC at Humayun s Tomb.The member expressed satisfaction on the constitution of theMonitoring Committeie but reiterated that we need to pay a lot moreattention in the ma^r.

1 of National level Archaeological Survey of India protectiori be accorded topage the archaeological and archaeo-metallurgical remains, including ancient181. mines, remains of zinc smelting, lead-silver-zinc ore extraction, retorts,

furnace-remains etc., and associated activities, at Zawar (Rajasthan).Furthermore, it may also be considered for placement on the WorldHeritage Site Tentative List, towards an eventual inscription as a WorldHeritage Site.
