Our vision is to preserve and promote India’s cultural heritage with active community participation. One of CRCI’s early projects was a comprehensive listing of historic buildings and sites across the state of Punjab. CRCI consistently tries to harmonize the imperatives of heritage conservation with the historic and current realities of the site. Towards this end, we work in participation with com

munities to develop appropriate strategies for conservation in both rural and urban areas. CRCI follows an interdisciplinary method and works in close association with environmental, financial and urban planners, as well as social scientists to bridge the gap between heritage conservation and development concerns. CRCI has extensive experience working in partnership with local, national and global institutions ranging from panchayats, district administrations and municipal corporations, to national and international bodies like ASI, INTACH, UNESCO and UNDP.

“There needs to be integration with work of other departments, for instance Department of Housing and Urban Development & Department of Local Government for heritage sensitive development work in historic cities (HRIDAY Amritsar provides important learnings), Department of Irrigation for protection and development along the canals which are a repository of colonial period industrial heritage, Department of Revenue to work at village levels, for instance conservation of village water tanks, shrines, intangible cultural practices related to crafts and gastronomy while aligning with principles of sustainable development. Partnerships and innovation require to be foundational in development of tourism so that there is direct benefit for the local people. In fact, this would be the first cultural route on the Indian list of heritage sites of UNESCO (it links Punjab to Kolkata through five other states). This is only possible if Punjab is more professional about this and does not rely on retired officials for developing the vision and strategy as in the past,” Gurmeet sums it up.

Simply put, Punjab the Sapta Sindhu and then the Punj-ab to now recently a land more reminiscent of the latest episode of game of thrones with mavericks, sycophants and jesters all in attendance.
