It includes documentation, conservation, research, publication, transmission of knowledge, artistic practice, public education and cultural exchange.
Vision & Objectives
Research
Encourage study, publication, archives and public knowledge.
Exchange
Create cultural dialogue among communities, regions and institutions.
PurposeVision & Objectives
Its objectives may be understood through six connected commitments: safeguarding the cultural heritage of Assam; supporting institutions and activities in dance, drama, music, fine arts and crafts; encouraging research and publication; enabling exchange among the many ethnic and cultural communities of the State; building wider cultural connections with other regions; and maintaining museums, libraries and archives as public repositories of knowledge. Together these commitments position the Kalakshetra as both a custodian of heritage and an active cultural forum.
