In order to encourage students to undertake conservation efforts and preserve the city's heritage, the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) has devised a programme for creating awareness among them about the local history. INTACH has been organising workshops for schoolteachers so that they can spread awareness amongst students about the heritage of the country. For this, it has been conducting workshops in several cities of India to train teachers to teach heritage, as a subject and has also prepared special tool kit for it, a statement by INTACH said. A syllabus on heritage education as a subject, which has been made a part of the school curriculum by the Government of India and State governments in secondary classes, has also been prepared.
