The mission of the Nehru Trust for the Indian Collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum (NTICVA) is to encourage the study, preservation and display of India's art and cultural heritage. The Trust aims to achieve its mission by making it possible for scholars and professionals from India and the UK to develop and share skills relevant to these subjects and to gain access to Indian cultural reso
urces both in India and in the UK. History
The Nehru Trust for the Indian Collections at the V&A (NTICVA) was constituted in India in 1990, as part of a project to make the Indian collections at London’s Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A) more generally accessible. The creation of the Nehru Gallery of Indian Art at the V&A in London was a key part of the same project. The NTICVA was settled by its founder Chairman, the late Hon. Pathak, and the programme of the Trust was made possible by generous donations from the following philanthropic individuals and organisations, to whom the Trustees of both the NTICVA and the V&A are very grateful.
