Sankala Centre for Cultural and Natural Heritage
Cultural heritage refers to what we acquire from our forefathers or previous generations, including art, architecture, languages, customs, traditions, etc. Natural heritage refers to preserving elements found in Mother Nature, such as flora, fauna, soil, water bodies, etc., that humans obtain from the natural world. Cultural heritage reveals the origins and natural heritage highlights the value of nature in one’s life. Conserving both heritages is equally significant.
The Centre for Cultural and Natural Heritage will play a pivotal role in preserving and promoting the rich cultural and natural heritage within India and abroad. By engaging in comprehensive conservation efforts, educational programs, research, community partnerships and publications, the centre will ensure this invaluable heritage is cherished and protected for future generations.
