An Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) chapter will be established in Nalanda district to conserve its rich historical and cultural legacy. This announcement was made by Dr. C.B. Jha, Member Secretary of INTACH. He stated that the primary function of this chapter will be to identify, document, and implement effective measures for the preservation of Nalanda's historical buildings, archaeological sites, and cultural traditions.

Dr. Jha further elaborated that Nalanda, a significant center for education and culture since ancient times, possesses numerous heritage sites that require special attention and conservation. The INTACH chapter will collaborate with local communities, government agencies, and other stakeholders to safeguard these treasures. The objective extends beyond preserving tangible heritage to also promoting and protecting Nalanda's intangible cultural heritage, such as folk arts, traditions, and local knowledge.

This initiative is also expected to boost tourism in Nalanda, as well-preserved heritage sites will attract more visitors. The INTACH chapter will organize various programs and workshops to raise awareness about the importance of heritage. It will encourage youth to connect with their heritage and play an active role in its conservation. This move marks a significant milestone in preserving Nalanda's identity and securing it for future generations.
