Without them, constructing history is impossible,\u201d said Dr. Jayaram Shettigar, Assistant Professor at Milagres College, Kalyanpura. He was the chief guest at the inauguration of \u2018Preserve Historical Heritage Week\u2019 and the guest lecture on \u2018Role of Museums in Protecting Historical Knowledge\u2019, organized by the History Department of SDM College, Ujire, on September 23.<br>Dr. Shettigar emphasized that museum artifacts are repositories of immense knowledge. He urged students not to see these artifacts as inanimate objects but to develop an interest in engaging with them. \u201cMuseums introduce us to our forgotten heritage, enriching us culturally,\u201d he said. He also highlighted that rapid social changes have weakened emotional connections with artifacts, often reducing them to a \u201cuse-and-throw\u201d approach, and stressed that understanding one\u2019s own family and local heritage should be the first step in learning history.<br>He encouraged students to explore the stories behind ancient artifacts and to view their surroundings through a historical lens. \u201cIt is the responsibility of the younger generation to preserve historical traditions and pass them on to the future,\u201d he added.<br>The programme was presided over by Dr. Sanmati Kumar, Head of the History Department, who noted that many ancient monuments are misused due to a lack of historical awareness. She emphasized that activities like this help cultivate historical consciousness and that integrating history into daily life is essential for its preservation.<br>The event was attended by Assistant Professor Abhijnya Upadhyay, student representatives Akshay and Kiranmayi, and other students. Sushira, a second-year B.A. student, welcomed the gathering, while Akshata offered felicitations. The programme was anchored by third-year B.A. students Srishti and Manasa, with prayers offered by Preeti and her group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ujire \u2013 \u201cMuseums play a vital role in preserving ancient artifacts and creating awareness of historical heritage for contemporary society.
