India
Delhi to have nine cultural centres
New Delhi | October 01, 2006 1:15:14 AM IST
Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit inaugurated a district cultural centre in west Delhi Saturday and announced similar centres would be opened in the other eight districts of the city. "This centre at Janakpuri would help propagate unity in diversity and provide an opportunity to different organisations to stage shows," she said. Constructed at a cost of Rs.20 million, the new centre is a joint initiative of Sahitya Kala Parishad and Delhi Public Library. The centre will train and provide a platform to upcoming artistes and help decentralise cultural activities in Delhi. Education Minister A.S. Lovely said the capital is set to become a cultural hub before the 2010 Commonwealth Games commence. (IANS)
