UNESCO adds India’s Shantiniketan to its heritage list
The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO) World Heritage Committee has finally taken its decision of adding 27 new sites to its prestigious heritage list and India’s Shantiniketan has also made it to the list, making it a happy and proud moment for India.
To be added to the esteemed list, a natural or cultural site must be of outstanding universal value and meet at least one of the 10 other criteria for selection. It must be a “masterpiece of human creative genius,” or have “areas of exceptional natural beauty and aesthetic importance.”

The decision was taken on Monday, when UNESCO unveiled 27 new World Heritage Site designations. Among them are a diverse slate of culturally significant regions, including sacred temples in Cambodia, China’s ancient tea forests, and European towns.
Recently, the committee had added several sites in Ukraine to its Endangered List because of the ongoing Russian invasion. Kyiv’s Saint Sophia Cathedral and Lviv were also added to the list. The statement released by the UNESCO read, “Faced with the risk of direct attack, these sites are also vulnerable to the shockwaves caused by the bombing of the two cities.”
