out of interest accrued on the Corpus Fund and out of the contributions of the donors.

to foster India’s contemporary culture as well as cultural heritage and to bring both within the reach of the
largest possible number of its citizens.

already on receipt of financial assistance from attached/sub ordinate offices or autonomous organizations
under the Ministry of Culture under any scheme.

problems on heritage protection, provision of experts, supply of equipment, emergency assistance, training
and support for promotional activities.

time, renew, upgrade and add to them. The donors would be free to choose any projects or suggest new ones
