The Parampara project is an attempt to provide a platform to showcase the efforts towards conservation of India's Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH). It is also a step towards exploring the ICH in the context of its linkage with environmental sustainability . It was conceptualised with the objective of creating a national networking centre/clearing house which will help to synergize efforts and initiatives made by different agencies with analogous activities elsewhere, through exchange of knowledge, experience and best practices and for making available a database based on new/past/conserved living traditions.
