Researchers to preserve city’s oral history

In a possible first for India , a group of scholars , academicians and researchers from the Centre for Community Knowledge (CCK) at Ambedkar University Delhi have embarked on the Citizen's Memory Project , a digital archive of the lives of the people of Delhi and the oral history of the capital.
