It will strive to develop a healthy cultural environment, comprehensively upgrade grassroots-level culture and sports institutions, and raise the ‘Cultural Family’ rate to 87 percent and the ‘Cultural Village’ rate to 68 percent.
Most ethnic minority groups have devised plans to preserve and develop their culture till 2020 and set up a steering committee to oversee it.
Ethnic minority festivals have been organised in line with the Party’s guidelines and State laws. People are fully aware of their cultural identities, and are actively getting involved in creating new cultural values and preserving others.
