Kolkata: Inmates of the Lalgola open-air correctional home in West
Bengal’s Murshidabad district will soon have a new job on their hands.
From October, they will participate in the conservation of heritage
structures within their campus.
The project, which has been awarded the International Ambassador’s Fund
for Cultural Preservation Grant from the United States Embassy, is to be
implemented by the West Bengal chapter of Indian National Trust for Art
and Cultural Heritage (INTACH).
A grant of around $64,000 awarded over a two-year period will be handed
over to INTACH, which will provide technical supervision and training to
the convicts.
