Srinagar: In an effort to boost cultural activity and preservation of the state's rich heritage, Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) is all set to open its branches in Jammu and Kashmir.
Making the announcement today, ICCR's president and senior Congress leader Karan Singh said the initiative will provide opportunities to artists to showcase their talent globally.
Singh visited Lal Mandi area in the summer capital, the proposed site for the centre.
"People of the Valley have acquired great and high moral knowledge through great Sufi saints and people still have deep belief in their shrines. Their moral teachings have good impact on the literatures," Singh said.
