The Department of Archaeology (DoA) has developed human resources for the reconstruction of heritage monuments. The department organized 15-day training at Bandipur rural municipality of Tanahu to train human resources.
The training was aimed at readying the workforce required for rebuilding the heritage damaged by the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake.
The department's technician and training coordinator Om Kumar Shrestha said that 45 artisans have been trained for the reconstruction of heritage. Artisans from various districts had participated in the training.
The participants were divided into three groups and trained in masonry, woodcraft and stone sculpting, said Krishna Govinda Prajapati, a training instructor.
Heritage including temples and monuments were damaged in many districts due to the earthquake. Many of these heritage structures are still awaiting reconstruction. "Reconstruction of heritage has not been complete for lack of skilled crafts persons. We have now produced the skilled artisans after the training which will contribute to some extent in the heritage rebuilding work," Shrestha said.
Although training had started from the third week of March, it had to be suspended due to the nation-wide lockdown imposed since March 24. The training was resumed on Tuesday.
