Secretary's Message
The launch of the official website of Debagram Debal Raja Puratatwa o Lokosanskriti Sangha marks a significant step in promoting the rich but unexplored archaeological heritage of Debalgarh. Despite its historical significance, the site has lacked systematic excavation or conservation efforts. The Debalgarh Museum, established in 2017, has played a key role in research and education. This website aims to bridge history with modern society, foster awareness, and encourage global collaboration. With community support and scholarly engagement, Debalgarh has the potential to become a major heritage and archaeo-tourism destination.
