The book documents the seminal study on the state of the built heritage of India. It is a pioneering pan-India initiative to highlight the challenges and apathy concerning unprotected built heritage across the country. The study has information arranged statewise as well as thematically, and recommends the way forward for safeguarding the vast unprotected built heritage of India. It draws attention to the need for urgent proactive steps and strategies before much of it is lost permanently.
