The Union Minister of State (MoS) for Culture, Prahlad Patel will be inaugurating an e-portal and a YouTube channel of the Rashtriya Centre for Cultural Resources and Training (CCRT) to promote Indian culture in New Delhi, reports Asian News International (ANI).
The initiative is intended to facilitate the exploration and understanding of India's history and culture, and is set to go live at an event called 'Digital Bharat - Digital Sanskriti' at the CCRT headquarters.
A press release from the CCRT said that the developments are aimed at taking India to a newer “digital pinnacle” and to promote its culture. It should be noted that the CCRT has also started to publish books to help propagate and widen the reach of India's lesser known places and the rural and semi-urban cultural aspects attached to them.
A book in this context, titled 'Dewas Ki Sanskritik Parampara' written by Jeevan Singh Thakur which has been published by the CCRT will also be launched by the Union Minister at the event.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
