In past, India has been a member of ICH Committee for two times viz., during 2006-2010 and 2014-2018.
Amid the ongoing celebrations of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, India has been elected for two prominent Committees of UNESCO namely,
Intangible Cultural Heritage (for 2022-2026) and
World Heritage (for 2021-2025).
Membership to ICH Committee will provide India an opportunity to restore the values of Vasudeva Kutumbakam.
