Centre For Preservation,  Propagation & Restoration Of  Ancient Cultural Heritage Of India (PPRACHIN)

Established in July 2019, PPRACHIN(Preservation, Propagation and Restoration of Ancient Culture and Heritage of India ) functions as an autonomous organization under the aegis of SOA. At the philosophical core of PPRACHIN lies a commitment to mobilize and coordinate expertise to address critical issues of conservation.

PPRACHIN’s main thrust is to undertake various publications and organize workshops/ seminars/ symposia to provide an understanding and appreciation of the philosophy, aesthetics and beauty inherent in Indian art and culture.

​Its vision is for a world in which cultural heritage--its preservation, propagation and restoration—is inextricably linked with notions of progress, inclusivity, well-being and stability. The role of culture in science and technology, agriculture, i.e. in all aspects of development and growth, will be emphasized.
