Indian conservation movement will be successful if there would be

Concept: In a reading-comprehension question that asks under what condition something will succeed, the answer is the condition the writer himself puts forward as the prescription — the sentence stating what is to be learnt or adopted. Material the passage mentions only as background, as an illustration, or as a description of present capacity is not that stated condition, however true and relevant to the theme it may be.

Application to this question

1. The stem asks what would make the Indian conservation movement successful, so the sentence to locate is the one in which the writer states what the movement should take on.

2. The first paragraph supplies it directly: having assessed ICCROM's role in its golden jubilee year, the writer says that consistent investment, rigorous attention, and dedicated research and dissemination are some of the positive lessons to imbibe.

3. The condition the passage lays down is therefore that combination — consistent investment, rigorous attention, and dedicated research together with the spreading of awareness for conservation.

Cross-check against the other lines of the passage

• Financial support from the Government of India: Italy's significant budget provision is cited with approval, yet increasing funding is grouped with building institutions as the relatively easy part of the task, not as the condition of success.

• Participation by non-governmental organisations: the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage charter is mentioned as having acknowledged the craft-support avenue, an acknowledgement that still awaits substantial state support.

• Meaningful assistance from the Archaeological Survey of India: ASI appears in a count of India's conservation workforce, where besides the small group in its service there are about 150 trained professionals for 6,600 protected monuments and over 60,000 further heritage structures.

The success of the Indian conservation movement is therefore tied by the passage to consistent investment, rigorous attention, and dedicated research and dissemination of awareness for conservation.
