India's ancient cultural heritage gained further recognition on
Thursday, July 3, when the United Nations Educational, Scientific
and Cultural Organisation declared the rock shelters of Bhimbetka,
near Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh, a world heritage site.

Bhimbetka is one of 24 sites from around the world that have been
added to the UNESCO's prestigious list of world heritage sites,
bringing the number of such sites to 754. These comprise "149
natural, 582 cultural, and 23 mixed sites of outstanding universal
value", a UNESCO statement said.

Union Tourism and Culture Minister Jagmohan welcomed the decision
and said it was another feather in the country's cap.
