Ministry of Culture Strengthens Village Mapping Initiative
The Ministry of Culture, in partnership with the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, is focusing on the Mera Gaon Meri Dharohar project under the National Mission on Cultural Mapping and Roadmap to map approximately 6.38 lakh villages across India. Through this collaboration, data collection has been more effective and cost-efficient, leading to reduced government expenditure in the fiscal year 2025-26. This initiative targets extensive village mapping, with significant progress reported, particularly in West Bengal.
