INTACH unable to get back its office
The Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH), the organisation that works for the conservation of ancient buildings of historical significance, is struggling to get back its office at the Sir Ronald Ross Institute of Parasitology at Begumpet which is presently under the custody of Osmania University.
Ironically, the organisation that works to protect monuments is helpless and is struggling to get back its office
The Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH), the organisation that works for the conservation of ancient buildings of historical significance, is struggling to get back its office at the Sir Ronald Ross Institute of Parasitology at Begumpet which is presently under the custody of Osmania University.
At the far end of the building, a room was allotted to INTACH to set up an office. It’s been more than four years since INTACH was told to shift as the State Archaeology department undertook repairs to the building which once was a military hospital where the Scottish doctor Ronald Ross and his team of assistants made the discovery of the malarial parasite.

The work has been completed but the room has not been handed over to INTACH. Sajjad Shahid, co-convenor, INTACH Hyderabad Chapter, said, “I cannot fathom why Osmania University is reluctant to handover the premises. For reasons best known to them they do not want us there. We still have an alamirah in the room.”
The Sir Ronald Ross Institute of Parasitology which doubles up as a museum is however closed for public and is dogged by inactivity. Efforts to turn the institute into a full-fledged school of tropical medicine have proved futile. It was in the early 2000s that the idea was floated and the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) granted funds for the restoration of the building.
