Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: The Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) has signed a memorandum of understanding with Shinnyo-en, a Japanese organisation for protection, preservation, promotion and management of cultural heritage sites in India.

Under the agreement, Shinnyo-en, a major Buddhist organisation, will provide INTACH $ 30,000 per year for five years for the works related to protection of monuments and historic sites. The two sides are considering restoration of Mangyu Monastery in Ladakh, apart from some other projects in and around Delhi.

Sites to be identified

The two sides will identify monuments and sites, especially related to Buddhism, and draw up joint plans for protection, preservation and conservation of such sites. Joint activities, including conferences, seminars and symposiums, will also be undertaken.

The two organisations will also exchange expertise and joint activities in research, conservation, preservation, promotion and management of cultural sites.
