Organisation

The Centre for Cultural Resources and Training(CCRT) was set up in May 1979. CCRT has taken over the Scheme-Propagation of Culture among College and School students, which was being implemented by Delhi University since 1970, where a Research and Production Cell was functioning for this purpose. In the year 1995, CCRT initiated 2 regional Centres at Udaipur and Hyderabad on the recommendations of the parliamentary standing committee on Human Resources and Development.

CCRT functions as an autonomous organization under the aegis of Ministry of Culture, Government of India.

CCRT’s main thrust is to make students aware of the importance of culture in all development programmes by conducting a variety of training programmes for in-services teachers, teacher educators, educational administrators and students throughout the country.

The supreme authority of the Centre rests with the Society – CCRT which functions as its Governing Body. The affairs of the Society are managed, administered, directed and controlled, subject to the rules, bye laws and orders of the Society by an Executive Committee which is also assisted by a Finance Committee.
