  • GIA Newsletter
    October 2016 Newsletter www.igia.co.in PRESIDENT MESSAGE This is the first issue of our new (every two monthly) e Newsletter after my taking over as President of the Association in April this year. As the very outset, I would like to apologies for the inordinate delay in coming out with the publication in time. I hope from now on the situation will improve and you will be receiving your newsletter on a regular basis. You must have noticed that we are now known as Golf Industry Association and the prefix “Indian” has been deleted from our title and this has happened due to directive issued by the Assistant Charity Commissioner, Pune in terms of the law of the country. It is our intent to provide you all with latest Industry information and the Golf economics in India. In order to achieve this we have engaged Ken Research to produce a document on the subject for the benefit of our members, stake holders and Government Institutions. This will be available to our members shortly. I feel that one of our constraints to expand the desired activities of the Association is the dearth of information on various golf development projects under planning or contemplating to launch where we can offer our expertise consultancy services, if required. In association with Government of India, Ministry of Tourism we have taken an initiative to promote golf tourism sector in India. The details of our endeavor and progress will be reported in the next issue. The dates of the India Golf Expo have been announced April 19-20, 2017 and the prelude of the event has been covered elsewhere in the issue.

  • Conservation & Heritage Management
    Chapter – 7 : Conservation & Heritage Management IL&FS ECOSMART Chapter – 7 Conservation & Heritage Management CHAPTER - 7 CONSERVATION & HERITAGE MANAGEMENT 7.1 INTRODUCTION Heritage Resource Conservation and Management imperatives for Delhi The distinctive historical pattern of development of Delhi, with sixteen identified capital cities1 located in different parts of the triangular area between the Aravalli ridge and the Yamuna river, has resulted in the distribution of a large number of highly significant heritage resources, mainly dating from the 13th century onwards, as an integral component within the contemporary city environment. (Map-1) In addition, as many of these heritage resources (Ashokan rock edict, two World Heritage Sites, most ASI protected monuments) are closely associated with the ridge, existing water systems, forests and open space networks, they exemplify the traditional link between natural and cultural resources which needs to be enhanced and strengthened in order to improve Delhi’s environment. (Map -2) 7.1.1 Heritage Typologies – Location and Significance These heritage resources continue to be of great significance and relevance to any sustainable development planning vision for Delhi, encompassing a vast range of heritage typologies2, including: 1. Archaeological sites, 2. Fortifications, citadels, different types of palace buildings and administrative complexes, 3. Religious structures and complexes, including Dargah complexes 4. Memorials, funerary structures, tombs 5. Historic gardens, 6.
