The National School of Drama is in the process of establishing five regional centres in India, including in Jammu and Kashmir and the North East.

While one of these regional centres –in Bangalore– has already been set up, the NSD is in the process of identifying locations for other centres in consultation with state governments and other stake holders.

This was said by Minister of State for Planning and Parliamentary Affairs, M V Narayanasamy, who also holds the ad-hoc charge of the ministry of culture.

“It is proposed to set up five regional centres of the National School of Drama — at Bangalore, Kolkata, in Jammu and Kashmir, Maharashtra/Goa and in the North East,” he said.

National School of Drama (NSD) is planning to set up regional centres in the country and Pune is a front-runner in getting one. The reputation of city as a cultural capital of the country is giving it the edge even as the theatre community cannot hide its excitement

A budgetary allocation to set up such regional centres is being made in the 11th Plan and the idea is to set up at least one centre each year in five states. A 15-member high power committee of experts from all over the country was set up to make recommendations to expand the NSD.
