Rang Akash

The National School of Drama (NSD), an autonomous organisation under the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, is recognised as one of the world’s premier institutions for theatre training. Established in 1959 by the Sangeet Natak Akademi and granted autonomy in 1975, NSD has grown over six decades into a major hub for theatrical knowledge exchange, practice, and performance. In this journey, it has engaged and empowered millions of theatre practitioners, scholars, and enthusiasts in India and abroad, standing as a centre of excellence in dramatic arts. Rang Akash, the internet radio initiative of the National School of Drama (NSD), is the newest addition to its continuous effort to enrich the theatrical landscape of the nation by nurturing an empowered and informed theatre community. With a legacy of over six decades, NSD has been a centre of theatre training, practice, and knowledge exchange, while consistently offering platforms for national and international talents to present their performances. Through the Rang Akash internet radio initiative, NSD will broadcast from the heart of the theatre world, bringing art, culture, and community engagement to audiences like never before. Located in Mandi House, New Delhi—one of the country’s major performing arts hubs—Rang Akash will support the theatre community and enthusiasts with valuable information, entertainment, and educational programming tailored to their needs and interests. In an age of overwhelming digital information, accessing credible insight from knowledgeable sources has become increasingly challenging. Rang Akash seeks to bridge this knowledge gap within the theatre fraternity while contributing to social cohesion, civic engagement, and grassroots cultural development.
