I would prefer to keep a pouch of Silica Gel in cupborad where the clothes are kep. As silica gel absorb the moisture in the air, so it will not allow the white powdery fungus to get on ur clothes.

I suggest running a light bulb near the area which typically grows a lot of fungus the light will generate heat which makes an environment that is difficult for the fungus to grow. Just make sure it's a regular bulb- not a fluorescent bulb.
Also, leave the door a little open, so there is circulation.
Lastly, you might want to consider spraying the wallls of the area which are prone to fungal growth with lysol.

We have to keep the cupboard without moisture.Moisture makes the powdery fungus.Keep it dry.When the sun comes put all the clothes outside on open sunlight.

It is right that u have to remove moisture from your cupboard but how that u have to decide. Here r the ways.
1.Put a small heater or 60W electric buld at the lower portion of ur cupboard so that heat comes up from bottom resulting uniform heat.
2.Any dehumudifier like Silica gel or calcium carbonate.

Air out yuor cupboard everyday by keeping to door open for sometime...move the clothes around a little and keep some napthalene balls within the clothes pile-they really help...

Why would you keep your clothes in the cupboard?
Anyway, if your question is not a joke, then here's what I do: I keep the... wardrobe open when I am in the house. I also place a fan in front of it. Don't forget to turn the fan on... If you have money (they are not expensive, anyway), buy a so-called "wardrobe dehumidifier". They are very useful.

Try cedar Moth Balls. and put in a tin pie pan charcoal that is used for grilling. Buy cheap charcoal.This will absorb the moisture and the moth balls will keep them fresh!!!

after you wash and dry them put them in a spacesaver bag, during monsoons your clothes will be nice and dry.
