Welcome to Indian National Theatre

The Indian National Theatre (INT) is a registered society that has been working in and around Chandigarh, towards the promotion and preservation of Indian culture for over four decades.

It was in the year 1977 that Sh N Khosla became the Hony Secretary of the society and put forth his vision for the same, which was to start a Sangeet Sammelan on the same lines as the ‘Hariballabh Sangeet Sammelan’ in Jalandhar. Thus was born the ‘Mini Hariballabh’ so to say, which took off successfully ever since, under the banner of the ‘Chandigarh Sangeet Sammelan’.

A glimpse of his early journey with Indian National Theatre in the capacity of Hony Secretary for over two decades and then as President till his retirement from Presidentship at the age of 98 years…..

A glimpse of the years gone by under the dynamic leadership of Sh N Khosla.

Sh N Khosla’s selfless service to the cause of promoting classical music will always be remembered and cherished by us all.

Sh Anil Nehru has taken over as President now( November 2020) and the society looks forward to a happy journey under his leadership.
