The Indian government has launched "Adopt a Heritage 2.0," a scheme that invites corporates to utilize their CSR funds to maintain heritage monuments. The benefits of well-maintained monuments extend beyond preserving history, as they also contribute to the economy through increased tourism. However, it is important for corporates to not treat these expenses as mere regulatory obligations, but rather ensure that CSR funds are spent wisely and effectively. The responsibility ultimately lies with the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to supervise and examine projects funded by CSR.
