New Delhi: Undeterred by last year's failure, India is having a second try at securing World Heritage Site from UNESCO for the picturesque Majuli island in Assam, which is also an important seat of Vaishnava culture.
The Culture Ministry is tying all the lose ends to avoid a repeat of rejection of India's effort in 2006.
The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) had submitted a nomination dossier on Majuli island for consideration of the World Heritage Committee in July 2006. But the committee found the information provided on Majuli insufficient to be considered as a World Heritage Site and returned the proposal seeking additional information on the island.
