ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 Production of Educational Material

The CCRT has been preparing a variety of materials on Cultural Education in the form of audio visuals and printed material. The
material is given to schools from where teachers have been trained to use these in a variety of teaching and learning situations
in the school for curriculum teaching and extension work. Besides this, the material is now available on sale also at CCRT head
office and its Regional Centres.

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 and now the 725 audio spools have been digitized.

Educational Kit

The Educational Kit consisting of audio-visual materials and publications of CCRT is provided to the institutions from where the
teachers have been trained. The Kit is issued after evaluating the performance of the participating teacher(s) specifically in two
training programmes i.e. Orientation Course and the Workshop on Role of Puppetry in Education. The institutions which are
provided with an Educational Kit by CCRT are duly instructed to send regular half-yearly reports on the use of the material of
