Saantinketan the home of Nobel laureate Rabindra Nath Tagore has been recommended for inclusion in UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
The quaint town in West Bengal’s Birbhum district is also home to the Visva-Bharti University built by Tagore nearly a century ago.
The recommendation was made by the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), which is the advisory body to the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, based on a file moved by the Indian government.
