The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is an Indian government agency responsible for archaeological research and the conservation and preservation of cultural-historical monuments in the country. It was founded in 1861 by Alexander Cunningham, who became its first Director-General.
India is a country with a diverse culture, history, and traditions. Heritage Quiz is aimed to highlight India’s multifaceted heritage. Heritage Quiz is a medium through which all can examine history and traditions, enabling them to develop awareness about the same. The lack of awareness of Heritage reduces the opportunities to engage in preserving and safeguarding heritage.

The Archaeological Survey of India, in collaboration with MyGov, intends to host the Heritage Quiz to reach out to students across the country and introduce them to India’s rich, diverse, and cultural heritage. The quiz also aims to raise awareness about conserving and managing the country’s heritage.
