INTACH Heritage Academy (IHA), established as the Centre for Conservation Training and Capacity Building in 2012, was envisioned to be a centre of excellence for training, research and capacity building relating to cultural and natural heritage in India. The Academy aims to strengthen the implementation of the mission and objectives of INTACH across the sub-continent, and in the wider international context. It is the first-of-its-kind in the country, running programmes for training, research and capacity building in all aspects of heritage understanding, documentation, conservation and management. The Academy aims to further research to develop a critical understanding of complexities and issues related to heritage.
