The Bharatiya Nritya Kala Mandir will be developed as a music college and a corpus fund of Rs three crore has been earmarked for it. A budgetary provision of Rs 60 lakh for the financial year 2009-10 has been made by the state government for this project.
Till now students trying to get music degree have to move out to other states. There is no music college in Bihar and most students appear in exam from Allahabad University and Chandigarh University.

District Magistrate Promotes Green Bihar to mark World Environment Day
Patna District Magistrate Jitendra Kumar Sinha in Patna on Friday inaugurated the social forestry program at Panchayat level to mark the World Environment Day at a seminar organized at the Bharatiya Nritya Kala Mandir.
In his inaugural speech, Sinha said that for any development to take place, a healthy debate with varying opinions was a good sign. "Constructive ideas can from any corner of the society and for this, a good debate should always be welcomed, he said.
Emphasizing the need for plantation of more trees in both rural and urban areas, the District Magistrate said trees also generated employments in the region and could help attain the goals set under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA).
NREGA district Joint Development Commissioner Rajiv Kumar Singh, in his speech, also lamented the disappearing of trees in the last couple of decades.
"Our ancestors handed over a world that was green and beautiful but we, because of our selfish needs, destroyed it and pushed it to the brink of global warming. It is now our duty to leave this planet to our children in a condition that is better than what it was when it was handed over to us," Singh said.
In a Power Point presentation, Dr. Rajan Sinha, the Director of Center for Disaster Management, explained the need for a minimum of 22% of the earth's area to be green. "This number has dwindled to a meager 8% posing immense threat to the planet," Sinha said adding there was a need to plant nearly 7 billion trees on the earth to match the population of the world.

I will do anything for Bihar: Neetu Chandra
Bollywood actor Neetu Chandra is fierce about her Bihar roots. "For Bihar I will do anything," she stressed. Chandra has come to perform in `Fantasians-2009' scheduled on Saturday at the Bharatiya Nritya Kala Mandir.
The event is being organized by the Notre Dame Academy Almuni Association and Chandra is an almuna of this school and Bihar's only girl in Bollywood. "My director was pressing to go ahead with the shooting. But I cancelled the shooting to be here," she remarked and pointed out that this would be the first time she would be performing in Bihar. The proceedings of the show will go to her school for upgrading its computer lab.
The `Garam Masala' girl has a busy 2009. Her next film `13th B' is scheduled for next year. Other films `Khusat Prasad' and `Sandy' - the film launching Shatrughan Sinha's son Luv - are also scheduled to be released this year. "In Bollywood, I have to fight for my career and my image as a Bihari," she said, pointing out that she was often asked in Bollywood if she lived in a village in Bihar where farming was done.
"That's the image Bihar has," Chandra, who has lived in Patna throughout her life before shifting to Mumbai, stressed. She said that it took quite a lot of persuasion in Bollywood to make other stars to come to Patna. "Perhaps it is because of their past experience in Bihar," she said.
Though Bihar has thrown up quite a few male actors in Bollywood - Shatughan Sinha, Manoj Bajpayee and Shekhar Suman - to name a few, Chandra happens to be the only female actor, "Perhaps more women from Bihar will come to Bollywood if we change our mentality. The parents, schools and teachers all have to contribute. I was encouraged in school and by my parents. There are Bihari girls working for theatres in Delhi. Perhaps they will come," she said.
Talking about `exposing her body', Chandra stressed that she had no hesitation in dressing as per the demand of the character played by her. "If I have to wear a swimming suit I will wear it. There is a protocol which has to be adhered to or else there are thousands of others who will do it," she remarked. She said that she has no objection to working in Bhojpuri films. "But I have asked the directors to make a film which a child can see with his grandfather," she stressed, pointing out that it was the presentation which mattered. "One can look decent in a swim suit and vulgar in a saree," she stressed.link
