It is everyone's dream to travel once in a lifetime by a toy train that runs on difficult treak between the beautiful mountains of Nilgiris, Shimla and Darjeeling. This is the truth and charm of India's world heritage. Along with some of these sites, there are 40 such sites of cultural and natural importance in our country of India, which have been given the status of World Heritage by UNESCO from time to time and have attracted the attention of the world community. We cannot make the mistake of limiting culture to just a few buildings and places. When we talk about the heritage-culture of a country, all the patterns that come under the culture are our precious heritage. For example, national language, sacred texts, literature, social and cultural traditions,various arts, ethics, yoga, meditation, traditional skills, and human values are a part of the great heritage of our culture.

Temples, mosques, churches,monasteries, chaityas, cavesarethereflection of our religious faith, while forts tell the stories of brave warriors and Kshatranis. Natural heritage shows us the mirror of a beautiful country. See, in a song it is said, "We belong to the country in which the Ganges flows". Songs like this from many movies make us feel proud of our heritage. Once a site is declared as the world heritage site from anycountry, it attracts more tourists which helps in the growth of tourism in the country. In our India every world heritage site has a great attraction for tourists. Every year millions of domestic and foreign tourists visit and admire the heritage of India. Our heritage helps to boost up tourism sector in the country. Whenwediscuss theheritage,werememberthesethoughts of former Vice President Shri APJ Abdul Kalam ji, "We will be remembered only if we give to our younger generation a prosperous and safe India, resulting out of economic prosperity coupled with civilizational heritage". How easily he gave the message of saving our heritage. They need to imbibe these ideas. The community also has to understand and think that the legacy of the ancestors should remain intact and the values hidden behind them should be passed on from generation to generation. World Heritage is the common property and collective responsibility of the world community. History is the witness that there has been a lot of damage to the world heritage due to natural disasters and terrorism. Although history does not change due to this loss, it is also true that among modern high-rise buildings, we have become indifferent to our heritage. When we say this, there is another side to it as well. Many steps have also been taken by UNESCO, the Archaeological and Survey Department of theGovernment of India and theTourism Department of the states in the direction of saving the world heritage of India. The heritage has been preserved by making efforts in this direction that it should not be harmed by pollution and humans, stay clean, be safe.When the ancientWorld Heritage began to lose its status and began to be destroyed for hundreds of years, UNESCO took concern for its protection and came forward. So far, 1154 heritage sites in the world have been declared as World Heritage, including the heritage of India. Out of total 1,154 World Heritage Sites (897 cultural, 218 natural, and 39 mixed properties) exist across 167 countries. With 58 selected areas, Italy is the country with the most sites on the list.
