With rapid urbanisation posing a threat to heritage properties, Culture Minister Kumari Selja today pitched the need for sensitising people, building capacity at all levels and training professionals for conserving and protecting monuments of importance.
She identified professional training, capacity building, creating awareness among local population and stakeholders as some of the key factors that would bring about a change in the minds of the people.
“There is an increasing need to create enhanced sensitivity and capacity building at local, national and global levels for World Heritage and Sustainable Development,” she said, inaugurating a consultative workshop on UNESCO Category-II Centre for World Heritage here. (PTI)
