Amrita Sher-Gil Cultural Centre (ASCC), Budapest organized a jubilant celebration marking the 75th Foundation Day of the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) on April 09, 2024. The event, held at ASCC premises, commenced with a warm welcome by the Director of ASCC, Dr. Mukesh Kumar Srivastava. He also extended heartfelt greetings for Navratri, Gudi Padwa, Ugadi and the Hindu New Year Celebrations to the esteemed audience.
Dr. Srivastava enlightened the gathering about ICCR’s extensive array of activities since its establishment on April 9, 1950, in promoting India’s cultural diplomacy globally. Through a diverse spectrum of programs and initiatives, ICCR has not only showcased the rich tapestry of Indian culture but has also fostered cross-cultural dialogue, mutual respect, and appreciation among nations.
He further added, “culture is considered an important conduit that transcends borders and connects with people. As such, ICCR believes in “Connecting World Through Culture” which is reflected in its objectives”.
Speaking about the role of ASCC in ICCR’s journey, he said that ASCC, a branch of ICCR, since January 2011, has been relentlessly working towards achieving the goals of ICCR to disseminate understanding about Indian culture, traditions and heritage by organising cultural and academic activities.

Dear Reader, why would it be forbidden? What does it have to do with this post? We’ve even posted an article on the English-speaking mass schedule (both Catholic and Protestant) a year ago or so.
