Which one is not a constituent unit of 'Sangeet Natak Academy'?

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct option is 1:
The Jawahar Kala Kendra (JKK) in Jaipur is an autonomous, multi-arts cultural center established by the Government of Rajasthan for the development and promotion of local arts and crafts. While it is a celebrated architectural and cultural hub in Rajasthan, it operates under the administrative control of the state's Department of Art and Culture. It is not an integral, central institution functioning directly under the Sangeet Natak Akademi (SNA), which is India's national academy for music, dance, and drama. Therefore, JKK is not classified as one of the SNA's constituent units.

The incorrect options are 2, 3, and 4:
These institutions are, in fact, the officially designated and directly administered constituent units of the Sangeet Natak Akademi. The Kathak Kendra in New Delhi is the SNA's National Institute of Kathak Dance, serving as the premier training centre for this North Indian classical form. The Jawaharlal Nehru Manipur Dance Academy (JNMDA) in Imphal is a leading institution that the SNA administers for the preservation and study of Manipuri dance and music. Lastly, the Sattriya Kendra in Guwahati is a specialized unit recently established by the SNA with the explicit mandate to promote and document the classical Sattriya dance form of Assam. Since the question asks for the institution that is *not* a constituent unit, these three options are incorrect because they all are official components of the SNA.
