Dawat-e-Awadh
Start Date
10 March 2022, 12:00 am

In Awadh, the best foods were rich and royal cooks took special pride not only in the taste and texture of their creations, but in their ability to astound and amaze their patrons. Even though these culinary extravagances have gone the way of the Awadhi court itself, the spirit of that extravagance, the civility, graciousness and much of that remarkable cuisine still remain. This weekend, treat yourself to a taste of that gracious age with some authentic dishes prepared by the IIC Kitchens. IIC will be serving the special menu from 11th -13th March 2022. These items shall be served in addition to the regular take away/dine in menu.

Shri Krishen Khanna, artist will speak on Many Facets of a Painter

 

Krishen Khanna was born in 1925 in Lyallpur, or Faisalabad, in Punjab, now in Pakistan. He studied at the Imperial Service College, England, from 1938-42 as a Rudyard Kipling scholar. Returning to Lahore for a course in English literature at Government College, he simultaneously took evening classes at the Mayo School of Art. He moved with his family to Shimla following Partition and later shifted to Bombay and began a career in banking. His works were first featured in a group exhibition in 1949 and he held his first solo exhibition in 1955.

In 1961 he became a full-time artist. With a Rockfeller Fellowship, he travelled to Japan in 1962 and since then, he has widely exhibited in India and abroad and is recognised as one of India’s leading artists. He was awarded the Padma Shri in 1990. He lives and works in New Delhi.

Annual Subscription Fee FY-2022-23
Start Date
09 March 2022, 12:00 am

Dear Member,

The second and third phase of the pandemic have caused devastating impact on the revenue streams of the Centre.  Despite the Centre undertaking various cost cutting measures, the revenue deficit could not be bridged.  Consequently, the Centre would be incurring substantial loss during the current financial year.

2.    In the  65th AGBM (held on 31 March 2021), some Members had demanded that there should not be any discrimination in charging of the Annual Subscription Fee (ASF) from Members in the age group of    70-90 years on the basis of their place of residence (Delhi/NCR or outside) .

3.    Keeping in view the above and with the approval of the Competent Authority, it has been decided to revise the ASF for all categories of Members from next financial year (2022-23) and to dispense with differential rates of ASF for the Members in the age group of 70-90 years.  The revised rates of ASF are at Annexure-I.  (Please click on the `Annexure-I’ to view the revised rates).

4.    As per Rule 9 of the Memorandum of Association and Rules & Regulations of the Centre, Subscriptions towards Membership are payable in advance for each financial year and shall be due for payment on the 1st April of each year. It shall be the responsibility of the Members to ensure due and timely payment of subscriptions.

5.    You are requested to please pay your ASF for FY-2022-23 on or before 01-04-2022, as per the revised rates.

With best wishes,
Yours sincerely,

Kanwal Wali
Secretary

In 2012, Shahjahanabad was put on UNESCO’s tentative list for nomination as a heritage city, together with New Delhi.

Here the town plan and architecture will be analysed for what they can tell us about Mughal polity and society.
