EXPLORATIONS to uncover submerged historical and cultural remnants in India may get a fresh impetus as the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) aims to expand and strengthen its Underwater Archaeology Wing (UAW).

In the Central Advisory Board of Archaeology (CABA) meeting held on Wednesday, Union Minister for Culture Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and the department secretary proposed to augment the wing's size and scope of operations.

Sources privy to the discussion said the ASI will soon engage 20-25 additional archaeologists and train them for the UAW to then take up more explorations in the coastal region of Maharashtra and water bodies in Madhya Pradesh.
