INDIA, May 7, 2010: The three National Academies (Sangeet Natak, Sahitya and Lalit Kala) and the Ministry of Culture are launching the National Celebrations on the 150th year of Rabindranath Tagore, with a three-day event entitled Rabindra Pranati. This will take place from 7th to 9th May 2010 in New Delhi.
Rabindranath’s genius expressed itself in the entire array of the arts that are represented by the three National Academies, established by the Government in the mid-1950s. It is also appropriate that this year-long commemoration of Rabindranath Tagore commences at Rabindra Bhavan in New Delhi, which itself was built on the occasion of the Tagore Centenary in 1961, to house the Academies.
