Media and Entertainment Skills Council All Set to Train 1000 People Under the Archival Conservator Program

New Delhi: On March 22, 2024, an Archival Conservator Program was launched by the Media and Entertainment Skills Council (MESC) to teach 1000 people how to rehabilitate and digitize ancient documents. 

The program, supported by the National Archives of India (NAI), will include 90 hours of practical, hands-on learning about restoration and digitization techniques and the efficient management of data.

The NAI is planning to systematically repair and digitize 2.25 crore bits of data in their storage over the next two years. The new archivists that will come out of this program can help contribute to this massive digitization process. Many of the documents are still incredibly important and relevant to Indian cultural praxis, and decoding and digitally saving such texts will surely serve the national greater good. 

The program will also help increase access to historical data and records spanning as far back as possible. The program also held an event to distribute certificates to selected candidates, presided over by the secretary of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), Shri Atul Kumar Tiwari. 

Speaking at the event, Tiwari said, “In this era of Amrit Kaal, we deeply value the preservation of historical data, understanding its significance not only for posterity but also for presenting India's illustrious past on the global stage. Our partnership with NAI on an innovative skilling program exemplifies our dedication to nurturing adept professionals in specialized sectors.”
