The India Book of Records (IBR) takes immense pride in announcing that the Brand Ambassador of the Indo–Vietnam Cultural Heritage Exchange Program, Prof. Chu Bao Que, has achieved yet another milestone this month in Japan as part of his mission to protect and promote cultural heritage across different countries. Upon his return from Japan, he was honoured in Vietnam by the Government of Vietnam in recognition of this achievement. On this occasion, a book on his works was also released. We are proud that the Brand Ambassador of the Indo–Vietnam Cultural Heritage Program – an initiative of the India Book of Records – is consistently taking significant steps to protect and promote cultural heritage globally.
As part of this series, the book The Guardian of Heritage authored by Dr Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury was released by IBR earlier this year in New Delhi, and soon after, the Vietnamese edition of The Guardian of Heritage (Người Bảo Tồn Di Sản) was officially released in Hanoi, Vietnam.
A feature film titled Vuon Tinh Yeu – Prem Ki Surdhara is also being produced by IBR and is scheduled for release in the first week of April 2026. Both the book and the film are based on the life and the contribution of Prof. Chu Bao Que in protecting and promoting the Indo–Vietnam Cultural Heritage Exchange.
On September 21, 2025, Indian delegates were honoured at the prestigious Grand Records Ceremony held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. This recognition celebrated the collaborative efforts between India and Vietnam in promoting cultural exchange and safeguarding traditions.
From October 2–5, 2025, a four-day Vietnamese Cultural Dance Training Camp was organized at the India Book of Records Head Office in Faridabad. The camp was conducted by expert UNESCO-affiliated Vietnamese dancers, who provided intensive training to selected participants. This initiative offered young talents the opportunity to learn intricate dance techniques and immerse themselves in the rich cultural heritage of Vietnam, fostering deeper cultural understanding and artistic excellence.
This exclusive dance training was led by distinguished Vietnamese artists affiliated with UNESCO, under the expert guidance of Prof. Chu Bao Que, a revered figure in cultural arts and the brand ambassador of this project.
The program, directed by Dr. Nguyen Hoang Anh (Julia), Artist Chu Thị Hằng, and Artist Nguyễn Thu Trang, selected 16 children aged 13 to 17 from various schools who demonstrated exceptional talent in dance. These young performers received personalized instruction, learning intricate techniques and cultural nuances that define Vietnamese dance traditions.
On October 24, 2025, Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury, Chairman of the World Records Union, received the Golden Board Award from the Vietnam Federation of UNESCO Associations during a cultural exchange program and Vietnamese Mother Goddess worship heritage preservation activities held in India. The award was presented by Mr. Trần Văn Mạnh, Vice President of the Asia–Pacific Federation of UNESCO Clubs and Associations, at an event in Hanoi, which was also attended by Mr. Tạ Quang Đông, Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports, and Tourism of Vietnam.
The next activity in this series will be jointly organized by UNESCO and IBR in Vietnam, where Indian dancers will have the opportunity to perform and teach Indian cultural dance, while also learning Vietnam’s rich cultural dance heritage.
