    Press Release – Recent season of Archaeological explorations at Ramagrama and Tilaurakot- Kapilavastu concludes 27th November 2019 The Department of Archaeology (Government of Nepal), the Lumbini Development Trust, and Durham University’s UNESCO Chair on Archaeological Ethics and Practice in Cultural Heritage have concluded a season of collaborative field activities at Ramagrama and Tilaurakot-Kapilavastu, both on the Government of Nepal’s list of Tentative UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The fieldwork at Ramagrama was sponsored by the Oriental Cultural Heritage Sites Protection Alliance, with the support of UNESCO Kathmandu, has made new archaeological discoveries within the vicinity of this internationally significant pilgrimage site, believed to be the only original unopened stupa to house the Gautama Buddha’s relics. While earlier investigations identified a large monastic complex and brick-edged tank close to the stupa, our new geophysical survey, fieldwalking and auger core surveys have identified additional traces of heritage below the ground. These include the presence of brick structures across the old river loop to south, monuments which require further investigation and protection from unchecked and rapid development close to the site. The team of national and international experts are guiding the site’s expanded protection by updating their provisional an Archaeological Risk Map for Ramagrama. This will identify areas where there is minimal risk to archaeological heritage and those areas that are most threatened by potential development. The Archaeological Risk Map well help to assist site managers, planners and government authorities to protect the site’s vulnerable heritage, whilst also allowing for sustainable development that is of benefit to local communities in the present and the future.

(For project preparatory technical assistance: All the views expressed herein may not be incorporated into the proposed project’s design. TA 7182-NEP PREPARING THE SECONDARY TOWNS INTEGRATED URBAN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Volume 1: MAIN REPORT in association with KNOWLEDGE SUMMARY 1 The Government and the Asian Development Bank agreed to prepare the Secondary Towns Integrated Urban Environmental Improvement Project (STIUEIP). They agreed that STIUEIP should support the goal of improved quality of life and higher economic growth in secondary towns of Nepal. The outcome of the project preparation work is a report in 19 volumes. 2 This first volume explains the rationale for the project and the selection of three towns for the project. The rationale for STIUEIP is the rapid growth of towns outside the Kathmandu valley, the service deficiencies in these towns, the deteriorating environment in them, especially the larger urban ones, the importance of urban centers to promote development in the regions of Nepal, and the Government’s commitments to devolution and inclusive development. 3 STIUEIP will support the objectives of the National Urban Policy: to develop regional economic centres, to create clean, safe and developed urban environments, and to improve urban management capacity.
