Monument Mirta scheme adoption  3 sites still under Uttar Pradesh

The Directorate of UP State Archaeology (DUPSA) has declared that it will strongly promote the central government's 2020 heritage initiative, Monument Mitra, also known as the "adopt a heritage scheme," which attracted very few participants. This move also coincides with events like the G-20 and the 23rd Global Investors Summit (GIS) that will be held in the city later this month.

According to sources, only three of the 11 sites offered in phase one of the project in 2021 were taken up by different businesses, while only two organizations expressed interest in taking up the 10 sites available in phase two in 2022.

DUPSA director Renu Dwivedi referred to this and stated that they will put up booths at the two future summits and invite individuals and organizations to become "monument mitra."

Samadhi in Mahavan, kusumvan Sarovar in Govardhan, and Kardameshwar Mahadev Temple in Varanasi are a few of the sites that have already been adopted by various organizations.

But due to a lackluster response, DUPSA made the decision to turn over five locations—the Chunar Fort in Chunar, the Kothi Gulistan-e-Eram, the Darshan Vilas Kothi, the Chhatar Manzil in Lucknow, and the Barua Sagar Fort in Jhansi—to the tourism department for use as heritage hotels.

The three remaining sites, Gurudham Mandir in Varanasi, Hullaskheda excavation site in Mohanlalganj, and Govardhan ki Chattriya in Govardhan, Mathura, are still available for adoption. The "Monument Mitra" program, launched by the central government in 2022, aims to preserve monuments through public-private partnerships and connect people to their cultural heritage.

Each state was required to make its historic sites available for adoption as part of the program, giving people and organizations the chance to adopt and protect these places. Also known as "Monument Mitra," these people are stepping forward to adopt the heritage places.

Then, they have the right to take care of the necessities, make some money, and operate parking lots, cloakrooms, cafeterias, and light and sound shows.
