cultural values to the world arena.

activities through its 38 cultural centers abroad and 19 regional offices
within India, including Indian art, history, oral traditions, dance, music,

scholarship programmes and most Mongolian graduates are working as high public
officials, reported the Embassy of India in Mongolia.
