Over 100 officers of the ASI, from all parts of India, have attended training in the preparation and use of lime mortar and high definition survey of historic buildings using 3-D Laser scanning technology. These workshops also give an opportunity to participants to understand mutual problems and concerns and learn from solutions used in varying context.The project has also been used as a platform for training of conservation professionals and craftsmen.
