DDA signs MoU with INTACH for holding heritage & nature walks in Delhi

New Delhi, Oct 22 (UNI) In a bid to encourage people to explore Delhi’s history and appreciate the city’s legacy, the Delhi Development Authority has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage to hold nature walks, on the directions of Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu.
Delhi has a rich history and a legacy that is something people must experience, and the six-month MoU covers six important locations across the city, including Sanjay Van, Mehrauli Archaeological Park, Sultan Garhi, Tughlaqabad, Deer Park/ Hauz Khas, and the Northern Ridge
Under the guided walk, people will explore rich historical, architectural, cultural, and natural heritage of the city, through which they will get to know how things have transformed over time in the city, and the way it has evolved in the past.
Earlier this month, LG Sandhu led a Heritage Walk at the Sanjay Van and launched the e-book “Exploring the Delhi Ridge - Reviving the Heritage of Lungs of Delhi”.
He had instructed the DDA to focus on conserving ecology, protecting heritage, and organizing heritage walks to connect people of Delhi to nature.
The MoU would facilitate two heritage and nature walks every month, and starting October 24, this initiative will commence with the Heritage Walk at Mehrauli Archaeological Park.
It will introduce participants to the park’s historic structures, architectural features and lesser-known stories, offering an opportunity to explore the many layers of Delhi’s history.
The 12 walks will cover six locations (Two each during the six-month period): Sanjay Van, Mehrauli Archaeological Park, Sultan Garhi, Tughlaqabad, Deer Park/Hauz Khas and the Northern Ridge.
INTACH Delhi Chapter will curate the routes, themes, and interpretative content and arrange heritage experts and guides in coordination with DDA.
The DDA will coordinate the necessary administrative arrangements, including access and permissions for participants and guides, to ensure the smooth and hassle-free conduct of the walks.
To ensure meaningful interaction, each walk will accommodate up to 40 participants.
The registration for the walks can be done online through the DDA portal, allowing participants to register from anywhere.
Talking about the registration fee, it has been kept at Rs 500 plus GST per person, per walk.
Meanwhile, the Master Plan for Delhi 2047 (MPD-2047) also emphasises the conservation of Delhi’s rich heritage alongside planned and sustainable urban development, and this initiative also covers the aspect of making people aware of the importance of the national capital's heritage.
