Role Of NCF

How is NCF different from other Governmental programmes and activities?
The National Culture Fund:

a) Constitutes an important innovation, rather a basic departure from the implementational strategies of the Government hitherto which presumed that the onus was necessarily and primarily on the Government to provide administrative and financial wherewithal for culture-related endeavours in the country; 

b) Accepts institutions and individuals as equal partners of the Government in the management of the cultural scenario in the country; 

c) Constitutes an important initiative for enabling institutions and public at large to contribute to culture-related endeavours, for forging meaningful inter-institution partnerships, for mobilising extra budgetary resources for culture, and for heightening awareness that culture indeed constitutes a crucial input to the overall process of development; and 

d) Will help overcoming the resource crunch in relation to culture-related endeavours.
