The Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA), established in 1987 is visualised as an autonomous centre, under the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, encompassing the study and experience of all the arts. The uniqueness of the IGNCA’s approach to the arts lies in the fact that it does not segregate the folk and the classical, the oral and the aural, the written and the spoken and the old and the modern. Here the emphasis is on the connectivity and the continuity between the various fields that ultimately relate human-to-human and human-to-nature symbiosis. Sulabh International a non-profit voluntary social organisation founded in 1970 by Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak, is dedicated to Gandhian ideology of emancipation of scavengers. Sulabh has been working for the removal of untouchability and social discrimination against scavengers, a section of Indian society condemned to clean and carry human excreta manually. Sulabh is noted for achieving success in the field of cost-effective sanitation, liberation of scavengers, social transformation of society, prevention of environmental pollution and development of non-conventional sources of energy.
