A living heritage of resilience, tradition and harmony with nature! 🇮🇳
Across the turquoise waters and tropical landscapes of the Nicobar Islands, generations of Nicobarese communities have preserved a remarkable way of life shaped by the sea, ancestral wisdom and deep respect for nature.
Celebrating this enduring legacy, “Nicobarese Cultural Continuity in the Central Group of Nicobar Islands” has been added to India’s UNESCO Tentative List!
From traditional stilt houses and handcrafted canoes to vibrant communal festivals, ancestral rituals and sustainable ecological practices, this living cultural landscape reflects centuries of Indigenous knowledge, community solidarity and resilience, including the remarkable recovery from the devastating 2004 tsunami.
A celebration of a heritage that continues to be lived, practiced and passed down through generations.
تراثٌ حيٌّ يجسّد الصمود والتقاليد والانسجام مع الطبيعة! 🇮🇳
عبر المياه الفيروزية والمناظر الطبيعية الاستوائية لجزر نيكوبار، حافظت أجيال من مجتمعات "النيكوباريين" على نمط حياةٍ فريدٍ صاغته علاقتهم بالبحر، وحكمة أسلافهم، واحترامهم العميق للطبيعة.
واحتفاءً بهذا الإرث الراسخ، أُدرج ملف "الاستمرارية الثقافية للنيكوباريين في المجموعة الوسطى من جزر نيكوبار" ضمن القائمة التمهيدية لليونسكو في الهند!
بدءاً من المنازل التقليدية المرفوعة على ركائز خشبية، والزوارق المصنوعة يدوياً، وصولاً إلى المهرجانات المجتمعية النابضة بالحياة، والطقوس المتوارثة عن الأسلاف، والممارسات البيئية المستدامة؛ يعكس هذا المشهد الثقافي الحي قروناً من المعرفة الأصلية، والتضامن المجتمعي، والقدرة على الصمود - وهو ما تجلى بوضوح في تعافيهم المذهل بعد كارثة تسونامي عام 2004.
إنه احتفاءٌ بتراثٍ لا يزال حاضراً، يُمارَس ويُتوارث عبر الأجيال.

India's solar energy journey is opening up new opportunities!
Union Minister Shri @JoshiPralhad writes about the growth of solar power in India, driven by initiatives such as PM Surya Ghar and PM-KUSUM.
He also looks at what lies ahead, from solar-powered agriculture and energy storage to manufacturing and green jobs, as India works towards its 500 GW renewable energy target.
From #rooftops to farmlands, India’s #cleanenergy transition is creating new possibilities for millions.
In my op-ed, “An Energy Revolution in the Making,” published in @the_hindu, I highlight how PM @narendramodi ji’s vision is powering this transformation through @PMSuryaGhar, #PMKUSUM, #greenhydrogen and domestic solar manufacturing. As we gear up for the #BharatRenewableEnergySummit2026, I look forward to welcoming global leaders and innovators to advance clean energy partnerships.

Nestled along the banks of the Mahanadi in Chhattisgarh, Sirpur is a treasure trove of India's early medieval history. Once the capital of Dakshina Kosala, the ancient settlement flourished as a centre of art, architecture, trade and learning. Its temples, Buddhist monasteries and Jain establishments reflect centuries of religious coexistence and cultural exchange.
Sirpur is among three Indian sites recently added to UNESCO's Tentative List, alongside the Karst-mud-volcano Complex of Baratang and the Andaman Subduction Volcanoes, both in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
