PRIME MINISTER MESSAGE
I am glad to know that the INTACH is celebrating
its twentieth anniversary.
A brain-child of Smt. Indira Gandhi, the Indian
National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage
has emerged as a premier non-government organization
dedicated to the preservation and promotion
of our rich natural and cultural heritage. In
association with the leading organizations of
the world, it has undertaken important projects
to carry out its activities across the country.
Its contributions in promoting eco-tourism,
listing our heritage structures and adopting
two heritage villages each in Orissa and Himachal
pradesh are noteworthy. It is non-governmental
organizations like INTACH that can play a creative
and purposeful role in preserving our heritage
in a manner that our arts and crafts remain
alive and are integrated into our daily lives.
On this occasion, I have great pleasure in extending
my greetings and good wishes to all associated
with INTACH for its future success.
(Manmohan Singh)
