Prasanna seeks autonomous status for Bengaluru Centre of National School of Drama
The HinduRenowned theatre personality Prasanna has sought a full-fledged and autonomous theatre institute status for the Bengaluru Centre of the National School of Drama. NSD Bengaluru centre was set up as a result of a glorious movement led by Kannada theatre activists, for many years, prior to 2007.” Theatre is a language and culture-specific medium and can be treated as such. But, the unfortunate policy of “One Nation - One School” for theatre training had led to a peculiar situation wherein a non-Hindi student was, and still is, forced to learn Hindi, in order to learn acting in her/his language, he observed. Following his indefinite fast, lasting over five days, as part of the protest movement, a National School of Drama centre was consequently granted to Karnataka by the then Minister of Culture.
