About NTICVA
The NTICVA supports the study, preservation and display of India's art and cultural heritage
The Trust has been in existence since 1990 with the aim of enriching scholarship and enhancing museum practice.
History of the Trust
Established since 1990
The NTICVA was established in India in 1990, as part of a project to make the Indian collections at the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) more accessible. V&A South Kensington (London) houses internationally known collections of art, architecture, design, fashion, photography, and performance.
The NTICVA was settled by its founder Chairman, the late Hon. Justice R. S. Pathak, and the programme of the Trust was made possible by generous donations from philanthropic individuals and organisations in India, to whom the Trustees of both the NTICVA and the V&A are very grateful
The Trust also administers grants on behalf of the V&A Jain Art Fund and works in collaboration with the Charles Wallace India Trust with whom it offers an annual joint UK Visiting Fellowship.

The Jain Art Fund
The Jain Art Fund at the Victoria and Albert Museum enables scholars and professionals from India and the UK to develop and share skills and to gain access to scholarly material relevant to the study, display and conservation of Jain art both in India and in the UK.
The Fund is therefore working in collaboration with the NTICVA by supporting an annual awards programme for individual scholars and museum professionals from both countries to study, carry out research or undertake training in both India and the UK relevant to the Jain tradition.
