The cultural potential of Haryana has been recognized through literary works of great admiration, performing arts (mostly in folk styles), crafting skills and musical renderings and singing. There has been a complete absence of a Cultural Map about the State of Haryana that would have covered the geographical signatures of resources and manpower.

1: A project on Cultural Mapping of Haryana will be initiated in addition
to re-evaluation or reappraisal of work done in this area and also the existing activities to frame a new, inspiring, broader and inclusive Culture Policy.
EXPLANATORY NOTE:
For the State Government and bodies or organization outside the framework of govt. that remained alive to the need to carry on, support and finance cultural activities in the State, it is envisaged to first gather in historical context the cultural strength of the people, identifying or locating the human and material resources and to re- organize all activities in such a manner that becomes a true reflection of peoples tradition and preserving the vestige of this heritage for the future to become a source of inspiration and reference without showing a signature of fatigue and obsolescence.
Since ages, the cultural potential of Haryana has been recognized through literary works of great admiration, performing arts (mostly in folk styles), crafting skills and musical renderings and singing.
There has been a complete absence of a Cultural Map about the State of Haryana that would have covered the geographical signatures of resources and manpower (Gurus at learning schools as well as family traditions) for a convenient understanding of the issues upon which all cultural activities could have rested. Culture, as way of life and in a composite form becomes an indicator of the quality of life of the people through which one can endeavor to understand the fabric of social, economic, political and domestic lives of a people covering various other routine aspects and rituals, which also underlines the necessity to preserve its pristine forms, thus, preparing programs for inspiration of the youth who may follow it for maintaining identities in and exalted manner.
Art. 2: (a) Initiate projects in selected areas for documenting the cultural properties and assets and establish institutes/centers of excellence in certain fields through successful modes as determined by expert groups
(b) To create a Culture Fund in the state open to individual for monetary and material donations as well as Corporate contribution for supporting projects
EXPLANATORY NOTE:
The matrix related to the aspects of implementation, monitoring and result framework should assume greater importance in the light of traditional values vis a vis adaptation to modern lifestyles. As mapping and documentation would necessitate creation or existence of a solid and functional infrastructure as pre- requirement, the Govt. may determine a review or scrutiny of the existing facilities in respect of both human resources as well as material resources. Any new investment in this area would call for past performances and present necessities. Therefore a need could be felt to create a Vision Document on cultural framework of Haryana emerging later as Cultural Policy, which would also include collection, analysis, photo-documentation & publication /voice recording/videography of cultural assets of the state. Work in the important areas except (i) art and archaeology (ii) documents (iii) all articles and assets not covered under (i) and (ii) above, have been preserved in Dharohar Museum in Kurukshetra University. Regrettably, least attention has been given to the listing and documenting including photography, towards unprotected built heritage of the State, save sporadic efforts by certain enthusiasts. Secondly, attention needs to be reasserted towards folk arts and literature about which innovative approaches should be applied, particularly the aspects about modes of presentation. Obviously, the State needs to shed the fragmentary or ad hoc approach and, instead, apply its mind for creation of excellence in selected areas by constituting a Cultural Commission (CC). We also need to initiate activity for preparing a Cultural Encyclopaedia of the State or a Cultural Gazetteer of Haryana and if so, the latter needs to be periodically updated.
In view of above, the existing cultural bodies that are either in the Govt. network or substantially or partially funded, would require to be brought under the umbrella of Cultural Commission of Haryana. This is likely to have a greater impact on management and funding of ongoing activities and ensuring better coordination besides creation of new facilities or augmenting the existing ones. The focus would be on creating Centers of Excellence in selected areas (to be identified later as group comprised of eminent scholars as well as eminent individuals in respective areas or work).
