After nearly two years spent identifying the tangible and intangible heritage of the Basti, the young people were trained to conduct heritage walks. It’s part of a project launched during the ongoing Jashan-e-Khusrau festival here. The project, called the heritage volunteer programme, is part of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture’s (AKTC) urban renewal plans.
The teenagers have formed a self-help group — Sair-e-Nizamuddin — which aims to share the Basti’s cultural heritage with visitors.
