The Ministry of Culture said today that the government's Adopt a Heritage' scheme was making a good progress.

The scheme, being implemented by the Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Culture and the Archaeological Survey of India, faced criticism over the government's decision to give Red Fort to a corporate for upkeep.

According to Raghvendra Singh, secretary, Ministry of Culture: "Under the scheme, three MoUs have already been signed and six are at an advanced stage. Thirty-one more Adarsh Monuments are enlisted for coverage under the scheme. The Project aims to develop synergy among all partners to effectively promote responsible tourism."
