In the cultural Affairs sector, lot of work has been done in the last three years. These development schemes will be increased in the coming years.

At present, the Government Chhau Dance Centre at Saraikela and branches of Bhartiya Nritya Kala Mandir at Ranchi and Dumka are functioning under the department. The centres are required to be developed in this newly created state. Steps are being taken to convert Bhartiya Nritya Kala Mandir into Jharkhand Kala Mandir which has been registered under socities Registration Act 1860 (xxii)

At present, only two posts of Asstt. Director (culture) are exhisting in the cultural affairs sector. Therefore, it is necessary to creat some new posts at headquarters, division and district levels for strengthening this sector, so that, proper protection is provided to the culture in the state. Many of the state's tribal and folk forms are on the verge of extinction, therefore, proper steps are necessary to protect such art forms. It is necessary to impart technical training to upcoming artists in their respective field of Art. Research, Survey, Documentation and Cultural Publications are also necessary. Besides it is also necessary to provide the folk and tribal artists the opportunities to perform / exhibit on national and international levels for which required help will be sought from I.C.C.R. / Zonal cultural centres with an aim to develop the art and culture and to check the terrorism in the state, the cultural competitions at district level will be necessary. During the last and current (2003-04) financial year, a lot of work has been done on these above mentioned points.

State Sangeet Natak Academy and Lalit Kala Academy are being constituted in the state to provide protection and conservation to art and culture to achieve this aim, a multi purpose cultural complex is being constructed at Ranchi for which agreement is being signed with the architect.
