Building Heritage Guardians: MMPS Conservation Activity Inspires Young Minds

As part of 'Heritage Day Week', Maharana Mewar Public School (MMPS) hosted an engaging conservation activity on 16th April 2025, organized by the Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF) in collaboration with the INTACH Udaipur Chapter.

The session began with Mr. Gaurav Singhvi, Convener of INTACH Udaipur, addressing the Heritage Club students. MMCF Conservators, Ms. Anuja Mukherjee and Ms. Bhasha Shah, followed with an interactive presentation highlighting India's rich cultural heritage and the importance of its preservation, using The City Palace Museum, Udaipur as a case study. Students then participated in a hands-on activity: working in groups, they used various materials to safely handle and store dummy artworks. This practical exercise encouraged discussion about their choices, with conservators providing expert guidance on best practices for protecting art and family heirlooms at home. To recognize their enthusiasm, each participant received a 'Heritage Champs' DIY badge and a conservator's kit with useful tools. The session's outcome was to foster a deeper connection between students and their cultural heritage, instill respect for art conservation, and enhance observation and decision-making skills.

This initiative reflects MMCF and INTACH's shared commitment to empowering youth as future custodians of India's heritage, making learning both fun and meaningful.
