India is a great repository of innumerable monuments and heritage sites. Many of these are totally unknown and do not have any patronage either from the Government or from private organizations. The locals especially the youth migrate out to cities and towns in search of other opportunities while the heritage site itself can be a gold mine.
Creating awareness of these sites to the world at large creates a fantastic opportunity for the local ecosystems to grow and develop. Even few footfalls to these places can bring in a substantial boost to the local business and create sustainable employment opportunities to the locals and others.
