The Rabindra Rangshalawas conceived and created as a large open air theatre in the early 60’s during the Centenary of Rabindra Nath Tagore on the recommendations of the Rabindra Nath Tagore Centenary Committee, headed by India’s first Prime Minister. The management of Rabindra Rangshala was transferred to Sangeet Natak Akademi by the Ministry of Culture in 1993. The last programme at Rabindra Rangshala was held during the 1993-94 and activities at Rabindra Rangshala could not be held thereafter.
