“Special Millets” Member’s Dinner at India International Centre on 29/4/23

With the aim to create awareness and increase the production and consumption of millets, United Nations, at the behest of the Government of India, has declared 2023 the International Year of Millets. 

IIC has undertaken several initiatives in this regard and has introduced Millets in our catering menus. The Catering team has undergone special training to familiarize them with how to handle Millets and we hope to incorporate more changes in the near future.

Earlier in the year, a Millets lunch was organised which was well received by our esteemed Members. In continuation of our endeavours to promote this forgotten health food, the Centre in collaboration with FSSAI & HUL is organizing “Feasting with Millets” on 29^th April 2023, to showcase traditional and contemporary menus and recipes. A Member’s subscription dinner will be held in the Multipurpose Hall, Kamaladevi Complex from 19.30 onwards. There will also be an exhibition on Millets in the Foyer adjoining the Multipurpose Hall.

We invite all Members along with their family members to support this initiative and make it a success.

Advanced Reservations can be made with Central Booking Office at 011-24609369 and on the following emails cbo.iic@nic.in or catering@iicdelhi.in. Bookings can be made on all working days between 1000 to 1800 hours. Any cancellations 24 hours prior to the dinner will incur retention charges.

Film Director and Screenwriter, Sudhir Mishra in conversation with Sujata Prasad and Oroon Das

This is the first in a new series of monthly conversations staged in collaboration with Ahad Anhad—a forum for creative instigations—which manifested its first edition at the Bihar Museum recently, bringing together words, ideas, performances and the liveliest voices in contemporary writing in Hindi, English, Urdu and the regional dialects of Bihar.

The seminar focuses on the role of culture in the framing and working of the Constitution of India. Historically, the Indian subcontinent has been replete with a variety of rich and constantly-evolving cultures. These cultures contain essential learnings not only for artists, historians, and philosophers, but also for lawyers, judges, public functionaries, students of constitutional law as well as ordinary citizens. This seminar aims to probe the question – as we decolonise our legal system, can tenets of Indian cultures inform constitutional arrangements in our country?

There will be three sessions: Culture & Our Constitution; Fundamental Duties & Fundamental Rights; and The Individual & The Group
