Intangible Cultural Heritage

👉UNESCO has added Kolkata’s Durga Puja to the World List of Intangible Cultural Heritage 2021.

👉This coveted list is made up of those intangible heritage elements that help demonstrate diversity of cultural heritage and raise awareness about its importance.

👉The list was established in 2008 when the Convention for Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage came into effect.

👉The Ministry of Culture has also launched the draft National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) of India.

👉The National ICH List is an attempt to recognize the diversity of Indian culture embedded in its intangible heritage.

👉This initiative is also a part of the Vision 2024 of the Ministry of Culture.
