FROM THE DESK OF
THE DIRECTOR
Dear Applicant,
We welcome you to the Shriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra. The Kendra is
an institution committed to the preservation and dissemination of
traditional Indian music and dance.
The college, founded in 1952, has a long established reputation for
excellence in the field of performing arts. It is a lively cultural centre
reflecting a fusion of rich artistic traditions and contemporary insights.
The mission of the Kendra is to provide each student with education in
a safe and supportive environment that promotes a thirst for
knowledge and understanding, sound values, self discipline,
motivation and excellence in learning. The Kendra assists the
students in developing skills, encourages them to become
independent and self-reliant, and prepares them to become
responsible citizens of the global community.
At the Kendra, the learning process is seen as one that is both
challenging and enjoyable. We believe an art education should foster
creativity, independent thinking, as well as provide a deep grounding
in one or more performing disciplines. We provide the students not
only exemplary education but also a participative atmosphere to learn
and perform. Towards this end we hold Founders’ Day in Jan where
selected students from each class get an opportunity to perform live
on stage.
The students’ fraternity of the Kendra is expected to inculcate a sense
of pride in and obligation to India's rich cultural heritage. With a variety
of courses on offer ranging from classical vocal music to the highly
stylized Chhau dance, the students gain immense exposure to the
richness of India's performing arts. The faculty comprises gurus in
different disciplines, who have earned laurels for themselves and for

of courses on offer ranging from classical vocal music to the highly
stylized Chhau dance, the students gain immense exposure to the
richness of India's performing arts. The faculty comprises gurus in
different disciplines, who have earned laurels for themselves and for
the Kendra. Some are alumni driven by the spirit of wanting to give
back something of what they previously imbibed here.
The Kendra offers a diverse series of courses. Students can prepare
for a performing and/or teaching career in their chosen discipline.
Apart from the normal professional courses, there are classes for
children in which a child can explore a particular musical or dance
style without the immediate pressure of choosing it as a career option.
The Kendra has a large and rare collection of books, audio as well as
visual recordings and extensive archival material in its library. With
Kamani Auditorium and spacious campus grounds, the Kendra is a
focal point of cultural activities. It has a full calendar of cultural events
in which every student is encouraged to participate actively.
Apart from normal college activities, the students are in close touch
with the Kendra's renowned Repertory Unit, a dance ensemble that
performs extensively in India and abroad. Talented students have the
privilege of performing with the unit, a privilege which carries with it,
the advantage as well as the excitement of appearing on the best
stages in India and abroad and working with inspiring
choreographers.
Being selected to join the Kendra's student body is both an honour
and a responsibility. It is hoped and expected that those who gain
entrance here will be guided and inspired in their work by the artistic
commitment of faculty members and other students already studying
here.
Finally, I welcome you to the Shriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra and hope
that you will find your stay fruitful and rewarding.

ABOUT THE KENDRA
A premier cultural institute of the country, Shriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra
was initially founded as ‘Jhankar’ in 1947. Started then as a group for the
appreciation of Indian classical music and dance, ‘Jhankar’ has since
grown into a regular college imparting training in music and dance. This
institution was later registered as Shriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra in 1952
under the Societies’ Registration Act XXI of 1860, and has been
recognised by the Ministry of Human Resource Development / Ministry of
Culture, Government of India.
Preservation and promotion of our cultural heritage through the
performing arts have been the primary objective and predominant goal of
the Kendra. It has made significant contributions in this direction. This
effort has expressed itself mainly in two directions: the College of Music
and Dance, and the Repertory unit.
The College offers training in major classical dance styles and music of
India, namely Kathak, Bharatanatyam, Odissi and Chhau dances, and
Hindustani Classical Vocal and Instrumental Music. Eminent gurus of
these disciplines supervise the teaching programmes to help the
students excel in their subject of study.
The repertory is engaged in production and presentation of dance
dramas all over the country and abroad. The production and presentation
of Ramlila has become a notable annual event in the cultural life of the
capital, and over sixty thousand people witness it every year during the
Dussehra month.
Location
Shriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra is located in the heart of Delhi’s cultural
hub, the Mandi House area. It nestles in the calm atmosphere of over two
acres of space. The compound also houses the premier auditorium of
Delhi — the Kamani Auditorium, which is a sister-body of the Kendra. It is
surrounded by several prominent national centres of cultural activities,
such as Sangeet Natak Akademi, Lalit Kala Akademi and Doordarshan
