Are you interested in knowing what you as a citizen should do with the archaeological monuments spread around the city? Do you want to know how conservation and management practice for a particular monument will affect the landscape and town planning around it? Then, the National Monument Authority (NMA)-India International Centre (IIC) series of lectures is the event you must attend.
