ASI to outsource monument conservation
The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), the guardian of historical monuments in India, has come under severe criticism from several quarters because of its lackadaisical approach to the critical task of saving our past. However, being a severely handicapped agency because of a limited work force, ASI has found itself wanting on this count. The situation was becoming unmanageable with several new monuments being added to the existing long list of monuments under ASI protection.
However, the outsourcing boom in India has caught on in a big way, and the ASI has initiated a process of employing outside help to conserve monuments. ASI is treading the outsourcing path cautiously, and is presently considering outsourcing conservation of only relatively modern structures, where the requirement of technical expertise is minimal. The Times of India reports:
Some buildings in the Red Fort complex that are of relatively recent origin, belonging to the 1930s, and portions of the Safdarjung Tomb have been outsourced to private parties.
