DDA signs MoU with INTACH for Ridge

New Delhi: DDA on Thursday signed an MoU with Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) to undertake comprehensive documentation of historic structures across Delhi Ridge.

The initiative will include listing and classification, development of heritage trails, installation of signage with the aim of preserving and promoting Delhi’s rich heritage.

Spread over nearly 8,000 hectares, Delhi Ridge is divided into four zones, including northern Ridge, central Ridge, south central Ridge and southern Ridge, and is home to several historically significant yet lesser-known structures.

A senior DDA official said the collaboration is aimed at ensuring systematic conservation while enhancing public engagement with the city’s natural and cultural landscape.

“This partnership with INTACH will help create a comprehensive inventory of heritage structures across Ridge and facilitate their preservation through informed planning and awareness initiatives,” the official said.
