The Lalit Kala Akademi has big plans to revitalise arts forms in Maharashtra. Towards that end, Kalyan Kumar Chakravarty, the chairman of the Lalit Kala Akademi, Delhi, was in the city to meet representatives of visual art institutions as well as institutions engaged in art activities at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya. The meeting was convened to make the Akademi more inclusive in terms of its charter and to restore the dying connections between life and arts, beauty and utility, and form and function.
