## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR CULTURE AND TOURISM

## (PRAHLAD SINGH PATEL)

- (a)to(c) There  is  no  such  specific  Adarsh  Smarak  Scheme  being  implemented  by Archaeological Survey of India.  However, 100 numbers of monuments have been  identified  as  Adarsh  Smarak  by  the  Archaeological  Survey  of  India  for development of  public  amenities.  The  list  of  Adarsh  Smarak  is  at  Annexure. There is no separate budget allocation for  Adarsh Smarak and the expenditure is met from regular budget allocation of  Archaeological Survey of India.
- (d) At  most  of  the  monuments  facilities/amenities  have  either  been  upgraded  or provided.
- (e) No, Sir. However, provision of facilities is always based on need at monument despite its Adarsh status/other monuments.
- (f)&(g) Since identifying Adarsh  Smarak  is  not a scheme  therefore the State participation does not arise.
