Abstract :

 Heritage conservation is not about preserving our culturally significant places without allowing change, but is more about understanding why a place is important and then managing change in an informed way so that the historical significance of the place is retained and possibly enhanced. Heritage conservation is an informed process that manages and allows for this change, but at the same time perpetuating the cultural significance of the place, the aim being to ensure that the cultural significance of heritage places is retained for future generations to enjoy. That makes conservation the processes of looking after a place so as to retain its cultural significance. It includes maintenance and may, according to circumstances, include preservation, restoration, reconstruction and adaptation and will commonly be a combination of more than one of these. Therefore conservation doesn’t necessarily mean keeping a place as it is without allowing change. This paper aims to study the process of heritage conservation in India, especially in the light of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains (Amendment and Validation) Act 2010, analysing its shortcomings and strong points as far as the preservation and adaptability of our built heritage areas are concerned
