The theatres on the Kerala Sangeetha Nataka Akademi campus will be renovated and upgraded to meet contemporary requirements, Thrissur MLA Rajan J. Pallan said on Friday. He was speaking after visiting the Akademi, where he promised to allocate funds from his MLA development fund for improving its infrastructure. Steps would also be expedited to resume the reconstruction of the fire-damaged Koothambalam and hand it over to the Akademi, he said.
Mr. Pallan said he would extend all possible support to develop the institution into a world-class centre for the arts by strengthening its infrastructure and facilities. He praised the Akademi for sustaining its cultural activities despite infrastructural constraints and bringing international attention to Keralam through events such as the International Theatre Festival of Kerala (ITFoK).
The MLA felicitated newly appointed Akademi chairperson G. Venugopal and secretary N.V. Pradeep Kumar by presenting them with shawls.
