About IIWC

With a clear vision laid-out as, “The Institute seeks to make available, those nuggets of knowledge which make a man more healthy in body, more wealthy in mind, more noble in heart, more self-sacrificing in spirit. It is conceived not as an academy for scholars, but as a cultural centre for Ordinary men and women, affording them opportunities to develop those graces of living which are the hallmark of Humanism.”

The Indian Institute of Culture was founded on 11th August 1945, in the suburb of Basavanagudi in the city of Bangalore
