Archaeological Survey of India
The Archaeological Survey of India is an Indian government agency attached to the Ministry of Culture that is responsible for archaeological research and the conservation and preservation of cultural monuments in the country. It was founded in 1861 by Alexander Cunningham who also became its first Director-General.
==History==
The first systematic research into India's history was conducted by the Asiatic Society which was founded by the British Indologist William Jones on 15 January 1784. Based in Calcutta, the society promoted the study of ancient Sanskrit and Persian texts and published an annual journal titled ''Asiatic Researches''. Notable among its early members was Charles Wilkins who published the first English translation of the ''Bhagavad Gita'' in 1785 with the patronage of the then Governor-General of India, Warren Hastings. But by far the most important of the society's achievements was the decipherment of Brahmi script by James Prinsep in 1837. This successful decipherment inaugurated the study of Indian palaeography.
