Kolkata, Jan 5:
Bonjour India, a 4-month India-France extravaganza, celebrating eco-cultural
ties between the two nations, has launched crowdfunding for its restoration.
The conservation project is the focus of a week-long workshop, starting today, which includes seminar and quiz for Indian and French architects and students.
Bonjour India aims to change the perception of heritage, showcasing how it can become a source of economic growth and employment, according to Mr Damien Syed, consul-general of France here.
Experts hope restoring the 17th century Registry Building, now in ruins, in the former French colony of Chandernagore in Hooghly district, could be a possibility.
On January 7 students from IIM-Nagpur will take part in a discourse to find out a sustainable solution for the Registry Building's conservation and its maintenance.
This building is among the 99 structures with rich Indo-French heritage value. It is also among the seven listed by the West Bengal Heritage Commission. UNI
