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 ive 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 a Students’ Festival in Nov/Dec at Kamani and 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 the Kendra. Some are alumni driven by the spirit of wanting to give back something of what they previously imbibed here. 1
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 ballet 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 and working with inspiring choreographers. Being selected to 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 and other students already studying here. The Kendra believes that financial constraints should not be an impediment to talented students; as such a limited number of scholarships are offered on merit cum means basis. Finally, I welcome you to the Shriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra and hope that you will find your stay fruitful and rewarding. Shobha Deepak Singh Director

INTRODUCTION 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 ed 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, 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 Performing Arts Section. The College offers tuitions in most of the classical dance styles and music forms of India, such as Kathak, Bharatanatyam, Odissi, Chhau, 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 Performing Arts Section 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.

VIRENDRA MALVIYA (ex Senior Tabla Artist, Information and Broadcasting Ministry) was born in Allahabad and started learning and playing tabla after being inspired by his elder brother, Shri R. K. Malviya. He became a gandha bandh shagirdh of Shri Someshwar Bhat (Kathak); later he found tutelage under Shri J. N. Chobe who himself was a gandha bandh shagirdh of the late Ustad Ahmadjaan Thirakwa and, finally, he learnt under Shri M. G. Godbole. Shri V. Malviya is a modest human being who still practises regularly. Majoring in the Farukhabad style of tabla playing, he also acknowledges all the great Pakhawaj players whom he met and worked with as they have shaped certain aspects of his tabla playing which is completely unique and spiritual.

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 ive 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 a Students’ Festival in Nov/Dec at Kamani and 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 the Kendra. Some are alumni driven by the spirit of wanting to give back something of what they previously imbibed here. 1
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 ballet 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 and working with inspiring choreographers. Being selected to 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 and other students already studying here. The Kendra believes that financial constraints should not be an impediment to talented students; as such a limited number of scholarships are offered on merit cum means basis. Finally, I welcome you to the Shriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra and hope that you will find your stay fruitful and rewarding. Shobha Deepak Singh Director

INTRODUCTION 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 ed 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, 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 Performing Arts Section. The College offers tuitions in most of the classical dance styles and music forms of India, such as Kathak, Bharatanatyam, Odissi, Chhau, 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 Performing Arts Section 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.
