ABOUT HCC

The Heritage Conservation Committee at its meeting held on 27.08.2012 decided to bring out a comprehensive compilation on heritage which would act as a reference document for all heritage related aspects. The work was entrusted to the Secretariat of the HCC. The Secretariat took up this work in right earnest and approached all public bodies in Delhi concerned with the heritage of the City. 

Based on the material and data furnished by these bodies the Compilation on Heritage was prepared. The information provided by these bodies on their respective websites was also valuable in preparation of the Compilation. However, the information in respect of the Cantonment area could not be incorporated for want of requisite data and material from the Delhi Cantonment Board.

While the attempt here has been to highlight the functions of each of the organizations together with the laws, regulations etc. governing them the Compilation would need to be improved from time to time to incorporate further details of the heritage structure in Delhi including brief background of each building together with their dated photographs, the present status of each of the heritage structures.

We welcome any suggestions for making this compilation more useful for the stakeholders.
