May 19th, 2010 - 11:02 pm ICT by ANINew Delhi, May 19 (ANI): The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved the establishment of the Central Institute of Himalayan Culture Studies (CIHCS) at Dahung in West Kameng District of Arunachal Pradesh.
The CIHCS would be an autonomous institute under the Union Culture Ministry.
The cost of the project is Rs. nine crore with a recurring annual cost of Rs.124.86 lakh.
The West Kameng District of Arunachal Pradesh where the CIHCS is proposed to be established is traditionally a Buddhist land.
This would not only fill the vacuum that exists in the field of education especially Buddism, but will also provide cultural moorings to the youth of this region and foster national integration.
It would also inculcate awareness of the ecological balance and preservation of natural resources. It will teach community arts and crafts for self-sufficiency and sustainable development and preservation of ethnic identity within the framework of national integration.(ANI)
