Cooch Behar Archive participated at the five-day long National Workshop-cum-Training Programme on 'Preventive Conservation of Manuscripts', organised by The Asiatic Society, Kolkata, from 02-06 June, 2026. Eminent resource persons and participants from different parts of the Nation attended the programme.

The theory and practical classes, not only enchanced our understanding of the subject of Preventive Conservation, but, also augmented our knowledge on remedial methods and Manuscriptology, including Identification, Cataloging etc. It also provided us with a preliminary idea on the significance of Palaeography. We are very hopeful that the Gyan Bharatam initiative will empower us to preserve and conserve these assets for posteriority.

We offer our cordial thanks to the initiative of the Ministry of Culture, Government of India,, and the Cluster Centre of Gyan Bharatam, The Asiatic Society, Kolkata, for shouldering such an excellent Workshop.

Our sincere thanks to all.
