Preface
Jammu chapter of INTACH has been a somewhat late entrant in the
fraternity of chapters. However it is highly sat isfying to find that within
a short span of its existence, the chapter has been able to generate
events and activity in accordance with the larger mandate of
INTACH.
The chapter was set up in its present avatar with Mr. S M Sahni as its
Convener, and Professor Anita Billouria as Co-Convener in March
2007. Mr Sahni has been associated with cultural projects managed
by the State Government and Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Trust for a long
t ime. He has also served the State Tourism Department in various
capacit ies and remained one of the prominent Directors of Tourism in
Jammu. His vast experience has helped the chapter in leveraging the
programs with good visibility. The chapter has successfully networked
with Universit ies, colleges and schools and coordinated some
important seminars. Dr. Billouria, a well known academician and
Professor of history in Jammu University has made immense
contribution in ident ifying and documenting the tangible and
intangible heritage of Jammu.
A photo descript ion of some of the activit ies is the theme of the
current news letter.
