The National School of Drama (NSD)—one of the foremost theatre institutions in the world and the only one of its kind in India was set up by Sangeet Natak Akademi. Since 1998, the School has organized National Theatre Festival for Children christened ‘Jashne Bachpan’ every year. The first ever National Theatre Festival christened Bharat Rang Mahotsav was held from March 18 to April 14, 1999 to commemorate the 50th year of India’s Independence. Bharat Rang Mahotsav has been made an annual feature. Two main schools of classical music—Hindustani and Carnatic continue to survive through oral tradition being passed on by teachers to disciples. This has led to the existence of family traditions called gharanas and sampradayas.
