Role of UNESCO in promoting Indian Cultures

We can also explain it by taking the example of Rajasthan Government who has joined hands with the UNESCO to promote their culture based on the rich intangible cultural heritage of the state. The project, which will run for around three-and-a-half years, will be implemented in Jodhpur, Barmer, Jaisalmer and Bikaner districts.

The project will focus on cultural heritage and traditions, such as pottery, weaving and other crafts, as well as music traditions, in order to create community-led and community-benefitting tourism opportunities which will attract more and more youth. This an important source of revenue for Rajasthan, given its numerous palaces, forts, and museums, an average tourist usually stays in the state only for one to two days which may result in increase of GDP of our country.
