Our hope is to encourage cross-cultural understanding and collaboration by sharing the rich artistic traditions of the India with foreign audiences.
The ability of cultural programs to promote mutual understanding and create a platform for ongoing international relations makes them a critical component of our public diplomacy efforts.

Individual programs in each of these disciplines may range from public exhibitions and public performances to educational outreach activities such as dance recitals, screenings, master classes, production workshops and any of the broad range of cultural activities that support the culture around the world.
The program provides a wonderful opportunity for people to learn several interesting things about world culture, lifestyle and language and also forms a good interaction with the people here. The participants in these programs are professional artists, musicians, educators and other arts specialists.
Reciprocity is a key component of these programs, with Indian and overseas participants enriching one another's work through exposure to other cultures, ideas and ways of thinking. The cultural division also generates new programs and initiatives that build on important opportunities and public/private partnership opportunities.
