Mission and Vision

Rajya Charukala Prashad(RCP) was established with an aim to instill among the general people an interest about fine arts and inculcate in them an aesthetic sense. RCP also acts as a catalyst for those already in the said field by providing congenial infrastructure to pave their way for further development. To implement the goal, Parshad strides on ceaselessly with missionary zeal. Parshad had the dream to establish an enduring relationship with people from every strata of our society and coordinate fine art related activities from different parts of our state. We had the objectives to establish prime relevance of fine arts in the total orbit of our culture and in the process bridging fine arts with other forms of arts. We had the vision of a wide arena where practicing artists, art historians, critics and connoisseurs could meet together for regular interaction and exchange. That arena could provide the scope for budding and promising artists to meet the legends and masters of their field.

Parshad advances with the mission to provide the cultivation of fine arts with a solid and dependable basis. We are in constant efforts to ensure proper and even attention and recognition to the self-taught painters and sculptors. Present generation and generations to come must be made aware of the scope and possibilities of learning fine arts as well as accepting it as their vocation. Not only the individuals but the institutions are to be drawn together so that in the age of technological miracles fine arts could remain increasingly relevant to our tradition and time.
