Monuments/Sites Identified/Proposed by State Governments for Central Protection

Monuments protected by State Governments are looked after by concerned Department of respective Governments.  There is no incidence where a State protected monument is taken up for Central protection.  Therefore, question of handing over of any monument does not arise. `

Though no such demand has been received in the recent past from the Conservationists to include more ancient monuments in the list of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) protected monuments, a few proposals have been received from State Governments. List thereof is given below.
