New Delhi: With a view to enabling tourists to get a glimpse of life in rural India, heritage body INTACH is planning to set up `village museums` in the country.

For outsiders who have had no interface with rural India, the project, if implemented, will be a novel way of experiencing the “real India”.

The Indian National Trust for Art, Culture and Heritage (INTACH) is working on the concept of `village museums` and is looking for suitable areas to set up such centres.

“Such centres will depict the life in Indian villages and will be a showcase not only for foreign visitors but also for the urban Indians,” Chairman of INTACH, told reporters.

INTACHis in touch with an expert from the Philippines who has worked on such projects in many parts of the world, and has asked her to visit India to help the body on the project.

“We have approached a Philippines-based expert who has worked in the area, not only in her own country but also in other parts of the world,”
