India is a country with a rich cultural heritage, diversity and different traditions. The reason is its vast geographical area. From Arunachal Pradesh in east to Gujarat in west, from Kashmir in north to Tamil Nadu in south, India is a vast conflux of cultures. It becomes imperative that there should be an understanding and respect for all traditions. There is a need for openness and understanding among all people of our different cultures. India is progressing so fast technologically as well as economically that there has been a shift from cultural entertainment to advanced and high-tech entertainment.

This technological barrage has led to the decomposition and death of so many of our conventional and cultural forms. Therefore, it has become essential to set up a system for conservation and advancement of our rich cultural heritage and inherited values. This is where these Cultural Centres come into pictures. We have many cultural centres in Delhi who are performing these functions very well.
