A Parliamentary Standing Committee has sought uniformity in the tenures and selection processes for heads and governing bodies of autonomous institutions run by the Ministry of Culture. It recommended that one Member of Parliament be included in the Governing Bodies to provide “ground reports”.
The Department Related Standing Committee on Transport, Tourism and Culture in its report ‘Functioning of National Akademis and Other Cultural Institutions’ evaluated bodies under the culture ministry like the Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts, the Lalit Kala Akademi, the Sahitya Akademi and the National School of Drama.
