About the NTICVA
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 works in collaboration with the Charles Wallace India Trust with whom it offers an annual joint UK Visiting Fellowship. The Trust also offers grants on behalf of the V&A Jain Art Fund.
