Indian Council for Cultural Relations (I.C.C.R.)
The Indian Council for Cultural Relations(ICCR) was set up in India in 1950 with the primary objective of establishing strengthening and reviving cultural relations and mutual understanding with other countries.
Its aims are:
a) to participate in the formulation and implementation of policies and programmes relating to India’s external cultural relations;
b) to foster and strengthen cultural relations and mutual understanding between India and other countries;
c) to promote cultural exchange with other countries and people; and
d) to establish and develop relations with national and international organizations in the field of culture.
One of the primary objectives of the Council is to promote greater awareness of India’s cultural heritage abroad. ICCR has set up Cultural Centres abroad in pursuance of these objectives.
The Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), an autonomous organization administratively affiliated to the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India, runs cultural centers in Almaty, Berlin, Cairo, Colombo, Durban, Georgetown, Jakarta, Johannesburg, Moscow, Paramaribo, Port Louis, Port of Spain, London besides Tashkent. These Centres function as part of the Diplomatic Missions of the Government of India of those countries with the objective of serving as windows into the composite culture of India.
