North East Cultural Centre to come up in Delhi

GANGTOK, 02 June: A North East Cultural Centre [NECC], pegged as “a permanent platform for cultural exchange” will soon be established in Delhi, an official press release informs.
DoNER had taken up the matter with the Ministry of Culture for helping in the establishment of the Centre. After several rounds of discussions between officials of concerned Ministries, it was decided to start NECC in the campus of Centre for Cultural Resources and Training (CCRT) at Dwarka.
Ministry of DoNER and the North Eastern Council will arrange funds for organising a series of events within this financial year, through active involvement of the people from NER residing at Delhi and NCR, the release informs.

“I am happy to announce that the North East Cultural Centre (NECC) will be established within the complex of Centre for Cultural Resources & Training (CCRT) at Dwarka, New Delhi.  This is one of the outcomes subsequent to the discussions of Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh with a delegation of students from the Region in December, 2009”, said Union Minister of DoNER, Bijoy Krishna Handique, at New Delhi yesterday.
Mr. Handique also said that the NECC will be a platform for cultural exchange not only among the people of the North East living in Delhi but also with those from other parts of the country, the release adds.
