The details of revenue earned by way of entrance tickets on centrally protected ticketed monuments in Agra during the last four years is at Annexure. The revenue so earned is deposited in the Consolidated Fund of Government of India. The conservation, preservation and maintenance of monuments declared as of national importance are very specialized works requiring indepth-knowledge and experience in the field and hence these works are undertaken by the Archaeological Survey of India through in-house expertise available rather than any private sector. The conservation, preservation and maintenance of the monuments has no overlap with enhancement of income generation.
