Wednesday, 25 October 2023
Visva-Bharati University in Kolkata clarified that the plaques recently installed to mark Santiniketan's UNESCO heritage status were temporary and would be replaced soon.

The university spokesperson clarified that the plaques did not adhere to UNESCO's guidelines and would be replaced once the text was provided by the Archaeological Survey of India and UNESCO.
