National Cultural Audiovisual Archives (NCAA)

IGNCA has been entrusted by the Ministry of Culture for the setting up of National Cultural Audiovisual Archives (NCAA). The
primary objective of NCAA Project is to identify and preserve the cultural heritage of India available in audiovisual form in
governmental & non-governmental institutions across the country through a process of digitisation and making it accessible
to the people. The project is intended to be implemented through partnering Institutions whose select audiovisual holdings
will be included as a part of this project. It is envisaged that a dedicated website and a virtual network of the repositories
of all Partnering Institutions is created offering online access to their select audiovisual holdings. The genres to be covered
include oral traditions, crafts, dance, music and theatrical practices, cultural practices and traditional knowledge systems. Finally,
implementing outreach and awareness programmes and building capacity in conservation, cataloguing, digitisation and retrieval
of audiovisual materials is also a major thrust area of the project.

Collaborative Platform for School Education

National Repository of Open Educational Resources (NROER) is being developed as a collaborative platform for school education,
aimed at providing support to teachers and students by making available digital and digitisable resources; host activities
promoting improvement of teaching-learning practices and the ongoing professional development of teachers. Central Institute
of Educational Technology, (CIET) has been designated as the nodal agency for the design, development and management of the
NROER on behalf of the Department of School Education and Literacy, Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government
