The Margao Urban Health Centre (UHC) lies in a neglected state. There should be an effective way to preserve heritage buildings and prevent their decay. They are the mirror of our culture and their preservation is as important as protecting our own culture. The majority of India's architectural heritage and sites are unprotected. They constitute a unique civilization legacy, as valuable as the monuments legally protected by ASI/ SDA and other governmental and non-governmental agencies. Heritage lovers allege that a few monuments under the state government have been affected by neglect. Development of a heritage site/building leads to infrastructure development, opens up employment and enterprising opportunities and also provides exposure to local communities and furthers social development. At the national level, heritage protection and conservation and the pride associated with a unique heritage are important for nation building and branding of the country’s cultural identity. It should be a top priority to preserve the heritage buildings and structures and highlight that preserving our heritage is enshrined as a fundamental duty.
