The Hindu
Previous panel of names set aside
Almost three years after the post fell vacant, the National School of Drama (NSD) is set to hold interviews for the post of its new Director this month, after having set aside a panel of names selected in October 2018. Since then-Director Waman Kendre’s five-year term ended in September 2018, Professor Suresh Sharma has been Director-in-Charge. A selection committee recommended the names of four theatre personalities out of 13 short-listed applicants on October 25, 2018, according to the file noting accessed by The Hindu. Among the names on the panel sent to the NSD Society for appointment as Director were Prof. Sharma and Kerala-based director Thulaseedhara Kurup. Mr. Kurup wrote to Culture Minister Prahlad Singh Patel on June 9 alleging that the interviews scheduled to start from June 24 would be in contempt of court as the matter was sub judice.
