With an intention to make people aware of their rich legacy, the Department organizes time to time events focussing on the rich art heritage of India. In this context recently organised events like 'International Seminar on Sir Alexander Cunningham and the Art Heritage of India', 'National Workshop on Varanasi: The Eternal City', 'National Seminar on Art Heritage of India: Legacy and Relevance' are of much significance.
Art heritage is fragile and has been seriously under threat. In the past one hundred years or so, in India more historic monuments have been destroyed, more artefacts stolen, more oral traditions lost forever. Moreover they are also threatened by increasing urbanisation, population growth, natural disasters and environmental pollution.
Keeping in view the aforesaid factors, it becomes imperative that scholars interested in the discipline are provided a platform to share their views on the important aspects of Indian art heritage through this seminar "Indian Art Heritage in a Changing World: Challenges and Prospects"
