India's
adventures in water are as old as its civilisation
which Indian Ocean witnessed from the earliest
times to now. Oceanic cultures, born out of
human interactions with ocean in port cities
have thousands of years of history. Knowing
the Oceanic culture in its ecological, historical
and natural context is essential in understanding
the changes in the earth structure, evolution
of life, man's impact on nature and nature's
influence on man's attitude, way of life, communication
and creation of civilizations.
IGNCA
Diaspora Programme has been set up to build
up a cross-cultural inter disciplinary dialogue
among Indians in India and the world and to
catalyse cultural inputs in development by drawing
on Indian Diaspora.
