Centre for Cultural and Art Relations

Following the new National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the emphasis on multidisciplinary learning, as well as the need to nurture creative disciplines such as classical and folk arts in technical institutes, has become imperative. Engineers benefit from creative fields such as performing arts because they help them think from a broader perspective and boost their confidence.

The Centre for Cultural and Art Relations (CCAR) was established with the primary goal of making engineering education more multidisciplinary and improving students' learning experiences through the incorporation of fine and performing arts into the curriculum, both of which are clearly aligned with the NEP2020 vision statements. The centre aims to provide holistic education with innovation and style by combining arts and engineering, which may give our young minds a new way of seeing, perceiving, and interacting with their world, leaving an indelible impression on their senses. It aspires to be a hub of art in practice and discourse within NITC. Public event programmes, workshops, research, and pedagogy are all expected to help build a community of artistic-engineers interested in the intersections of art, culture, and technology. The centre strives to collaborate with cultural and artistic talents at the regional, national, and international levels in order to build bridges with the community in novel and exciting ways.
