The expansion of the concept of seven regional cultural centers was achieved in the 7th Five Year Plan. These centers were established with the aim of promoting regionalism and linguistic boundaries and promoting the organized culture of India by establishing interrelationships in the styles and cultures of the member states.
The headquarters of these centers are generally located away from the state capitals. The only exception is Kolkata, which is the headquarter of Eastern Region Cultural Center. Each center has a campus which includes galleries for exhibitions, facilities for stage arts, auditoriums, archives,libraries,among other things.
