“To begin with, we are linking the QR codes with our website as we already have all the information about heritage sites and monuments in Delhi,” said AGK Menon, head of INTACH’s Delhi chapter.
“We have created a specific design for the signages, which has been approved by NDMC. Much like the landscape within which the monument is located, an Integrated Signage System, too, gives the heritage site an identity and character,” he said.
INTACH, in association with Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), had earlier carried out the designing, fabrication and installation of an Integrated Signage System at 15 ASI-protected sites in Delhi.
“The main objective of signage is clarity of communication in order to provide the visitors easy access to monuments and sites and the facilities provided. It will be interesting and helpful for them to know about the heritage, its context and the rules and regulations to be followed during a visit to a place of interest,” Menon said.
“We have designed the signages for few sites such as Gurdwara Bangla Sahib, Gandhi Smriti, Dominion Columns, Bada Jain Mandir and Freemasons Lodge, among others. The designs have been approved by NMDC and the installation is in progress,” he said.
