Divali Nagar 2025 is expected to cost $3.5 million, and the National Council of Indian Culture (NCIC) is appealing for at least $1 million in state funding to help cover the expenses.
The announcement was made by newly elected NCIC President, Surujdeo Mangaroo, during the official launch of Nagar 2025 at the organisation’s head office in Chaguanas on Wednesday.
Responding to questions, Mangaroo noted that in 2024 the former PNM administration provided $500,000 to assist with the staging of the nine-day festival. He said the NCIC barely broke even last year.
