NEW DELHI, July 19: The Ministry of Culture and the Indian Navy have joined hands to revive and preserve a 2000-year-old technique of shipbuilding, officials said on Wednesday.
The technique is known as 'Tankai' method or the ''stitched shipbuilding method'', the ministry said.
''Reviving and rejuvenating this fading art is crucial to ensure the preservation of cultural heritage for future generations,'' it said in a statement.
The MoU was signed on July 18 in the presence of Govind Mohan, Secretary, Ministry of Culture; Uma Nanduri, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Culture; Priyanka Chandra, Director (AKAM), Ministry of Culture; and Rear Admiral K S Srinivas; Commodore Sujeet Bakshi; and Commander Sandeep Roy from the Indian Navy, it said.
The Indian Navy will oversee the implementation and execution of the entire project. As custodians of maritime security and experts in the field, the Indian Navy's involvement ensures ''seamless project management and adherence to the highest standards of safety and precision,'' the ministry said.
