Unlike in the West, there is a serious lack of human resource in India, which has both management and administrative skills, and exposure and understanding of the vast and diverse field of Arts and Culture. This is one of the major reasons hindering the professional development of many art institutions in India – a concern that is shared by most of the artists and art institutions in India. The Arts Institutions and Infrastructures initiative of the Arts and Culture programme strategically aims to deal with this scenario.

The two-pronged focus is on:

	Innovative institution building specific to art forms
	Providing significant institutions with demonstrable survival strategies

The Arts and Culture programme of the Trusts is also playing a leadership role in encouraging philanthropy and funding to the arts by other players and specifically by the universities.

Through this initiative, the Trusts' Arts and Culture programme aims to not merely disseminate, encourage and sustain arts, arts institutions, and contribute to infrastructural needs, but also to play a lead role in bringing funds from other sources to the much-neglected field of Arts and culture in India.

	Regenerating Institutions
	Theatre Infrastructure
	Advanced Learning in the Arts (Research Cells)
