And why not, everyone should see the cultural diversity of the country- India is a big country filled with many religions and cultural history. This has to be showcased to the world and hence the prime minister is all set to launch the same.

Much research was done by the Archaeological Survey of India or ASI where the experts got their hands on monuments and places. These all were well researched by the team and got the chance to be included in the world heritage nomination. The team’s efforts are worth mentioning along with Narendra Modi’s initiative.
