  • 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. Traditional networks associated with systems of water harvesting and management 1 Indraprastha ( c. 1st millennium BCE), Dilli, Surajpal’s Surajkund, Anangpal’s Lal Kot, Prithviraj Chauhan’s Qila Rai Pithora, Kaiquabad’s Khilokhri, Alauddin Khilji’s Siri, Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq’s Tughlaqabad, Muhammad Bin Tughlaq’s Jahanpanah, Firoz Shah Tughlaq’s Firozabad, Khizr Khan’s Khizrabad, Mubarak Shah’s Mubarakabad, Humayun’s Dinpanah, Sher Shah Suri’s Dilli Sher Shahi, Shah Jehan’s Shahjehanabad, and Lutyen’s New Delhi.

  • MASTER PLAN for DELHI 2021.Pmd
    MASTER PLAN FOR DELHI WITH THE PERSPECTIVE FOR THE YEAR 2021 IT IS A COPIED ONE FOREWORD The National Capital Territory (NCD) of Delhi has been withnessing unprecedented growth of popu- lation ever since Independence (from 17.4 lakhs in 1951 to 138.5 lakhs in 2001). With the area remaining static (at 1487 sq. km), the need for systematic planning has been assuming increasing im- portance and urgency. After some interim preparatory steps, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) came into existence after enactment of the Delhi Development Act, 1957. The first comprehensive Master Plan for Delhi (MPD) was brought into force on the Ist. September 1962, with a perspective of 20 years, i.e., up to 1982. The 2nd. Master Plan (Perspective 2001) due before 1982, came out only in 1990. This plan (MPD-2021) that ought to have been in public domain before 2001, has come now in 2007. Planning is a dynamic process that demands continuous fine-tuning to suit emerging needs and attitudes; to remedy what is hurting the people, to draw lessons from the past, to anticipate the needs and aspirations of the people in times to come. In the democratic system that ‘We the People of india’ have adopted for ourselves, it becomes the duty of we the citizens of Delhi to world, one of which all the Indians should feel proud. For this to happen it is imperative that the Master Plan is perceived as People’s Document and not a mere Sarkari Plan. This requires that the people at larg read the MPD, grasp its concept and implications, critically examine if its provisions are leading Delhi in the right direction and most importantly, liberally offer their views and suggest innovations and improvements.

    Online Training Programme on Incident Response System Basic & Intermediate For Northern States (Part VI) [2nd – 4th December, 2020] Course Report Mahatma Gandhi State Institute of Public Administration, Punjab Institutional Area, Sector – 26, Chandigarh In collaboration with National Institute of Disaster Management (Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India) A-wing, 4th Floor, NDCC-II Building, Jai Singh Road, New Delhi – 110001 1 Online Training Programme on “Incident Response System (IRS): Basic & Intermediate” For Northern States (Part VI) hosted by Mahatma Gandhi State Institute of Public Administration in collaboration with National Institute of Disaster Management, Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India w.e.f. 2nd – 4th December, 2020 from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM Background India is vulnerable to a variety of natural and anthropogenic disasters that hinder the country’s growth. Disaster response management requires the existing administrative set up, and all other stakeholders to carry out a large number of tasks. The activities involved in response management would depend on the nature and type of disaster. It has been observed that in times of disaster lack of coordination amongst various agencies exist. If the response is planned and the stakeholders are trained, there will be no scope for ad-hoc measures and the response will be smooth and effective. The objective of training on IRS is to pre-designate officers to perform various duties as well as train them in their respective roles. Realization of certain shortcomings in response and a desire to address the critical gaps led Government of India (GOI) to look at the world’s best practices and in this pursuit a decision was taken to closely look at the Incident Command System (ICS) developed by United States Forest Services (USFS) of United States of America (USA) which the High Powered Committee on disaster management constituted by the 2 Government of India also identified as one of the best global practices for disaster response.

  • Gurpartap Suraj Granth, 1843 Wrote His Updated History of the Sikhs
    With deep reverence to the great soul and philosopher Mahakavi Bhai Sahib Santokh Singh ji whose great and monumental work Gurpartap Suraj Granth, 1843 (Despite the shortcomings which came to light later on) was straightway acclaimed by a grateful community & Joseph Davey Cunningham who wrote his updated History of the Sikhs, (1849), in advance of his times, Suffered for it, fell a victim to the truth, but gave the Sikh people a definitive account of their history PREFACE Histories of the peoples or of the nations have been written and rewritten continuously. With the rise of nationalism in Europe in the 18th century, histories of various European countries, including that of England, have been rewritten during the 19th century from their respective national perspectives. So has been the case during the present century with the histories of colonised people who during and after the colonial rule have found new contours of their past. History of India too has been rewritten from that perspective. For instance, yesterday’s extremists and terrorists have been acclaimed as today’s heroes and revolutionaries. With the decolonization of the subcontinent in 1947, the Sikhs for the first time in history came under the tutelage of a reviving Hinduism. Brahminism, whenever in ascendance, has been intolerant of non-conforming faiths. It was time for the Sikhs to reexamine their history and draw appropriate lessons. That was all the more so, as there have been persistent attempts to overturn the Sikh history and theology. The beginnings were made in the early 17th century by dissident Minas who in collaboration with Brahmins played havoc with Guru Nanak’s Janam Sakhi, biography.
