The primary purpose of the organisation has been to make youth aware of the rich cultural heritage of India and to facilitate the exchange of traditional Indian values and aesthetic awareness into the mainstream of the Indian educational system. SPIC MACAY organises over 3000 events each year in 250 towns in India and 50 towns overseas through a worldwide network of schools, colleges and educational institutions, reaching out to over a million individuals.
