“The centre is being planned in West Delhi’s Vikaspuri. Currently, Mandi House, in the central part of Delhi, is known as the hub of art and culture, with several prominent centres like Sahitya Kala Academy, National School of Drama, Shri Ram Centre, Triveni Kala Sangam etc… But this centre is too far for people residing in West and Outer Delhi. So, the government is planning to construct a centre in Vikaspuri, so more talent can get a platform,” said a government official.
The official further added, “The main objective is to provide a platform to young students, children and artists living in West Delhi, Dwarka sub-city and nearby areas to showcase their talents through different art forms — dance, singing, painting, drama and theatre, music festivals and art exhibitions etc… The centre, once constructed, will be managed by the Sahitya Kala Academy.”
“Tenders have already been floated… a company has been shortlisted… Work will be awarded soon,” said an official.
