Eventually, upon the decision of the MGI/RTI Council of August 2006, it became the School of Performing Arts. The School comprises of seven departments.
The School of Performing Arts has now developed into a vibrant and dynamic entity of the Institute, with a broad spectrum of academic programmes in nine disciplines namely; Kathak, Bharata Natyam, Kuchipudi, Vocal Hindustani, Vocal Carnatic, Sitar, Tabla and Mridangam. The School is engaged in the promotion of education and culture through the teaching and learning of Performing Arts at different levels.
