Outsourcing Conservation of Monuments in India
India is well known for its historical monuments and sculptures. Millions of tourists throng to India in order to get a glimpse of these amazing structures. The Indian government is committed to protect these monuments from external damage or degradation. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has been entrusted with this responsibility. The ASI is facing a shortage of labor to maintain these monuments. Hence, it has decided to outsource the conservation of monuments. According to ASI sources, it has limited labor, but the workload is increasing day by day. The ASI has no option but to outsource the maintenance to third parties.
According to The Times of India -
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, ASI Director General C Babu Rajeev told. Rajeev said the private parties to be entrusted with the renovation work will be selected through a thorough process keeping in mind their expertise and experience.
