Work done by the government in 12 heritage cities in the last four years will be shown through short movies prepared in coordination with the National Film Development Corporation of India (NFDC), an official said.
Under the National Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana (HRIDAY), Ajmer, Amaravati, Amritsar, Badami, Dwaraka, Gaya, Kanchipuram, Mathura, Puri, Varanasi, Velankanni and Warangal have been selected.
The official said that as per the plan, once the works are completed in these cities, an overall short movie will also be prepared in coordination with NFDC.
The Housing and Urban Affairs ministry, which is mandated to implement the scheme, had launched HRIDAY in January 2015 with a focus on holistic development of heritage cities.
Although the duration of the scheme is four years completing in November this year, the ministry is likely to extend it as number of projects are underway in cities.
"The ministry has joined hands with NFDC to prepare 12 short movies on every individual city to showcase works done under HRIDAY.An overall short movie will also be prepared once all projects works are completed under the scheme," an official said.
HRIDAY aims at creating civic, tourism and informational infrastructure around heritage assets in order to provide citizens and tourists with an enhanced experience
