The New Indian Express Dharmapuri
|March 28, 2025
A parliamentary panel has suggested public-private partnerships to support efforts for repatriation of antiquities, which were stolen and smuggled out of the country.
In its latest report presented in Parliament, the Department-related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transport, Tourism and Culture stated that the government could establish a 'Heritage Repatriation Fund' that accepts contributions from corporations, wealthy individuals, and the Indian diaspora to support legal challenges, negotiate purchases and also to fund transportation and conservation of returned artefacts.
The panel chaired by Janata Dal (united) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha recommended investment in cutting-edge technological tools for provenance research and authentication of cultural objects for strengthening legal arguments for repatriation.
