For the 12 th Five Year Plan, there was a mention to have one Institute for the management of cultural institutes. To initiate the process, a Conclave was organized in IIM, Bengaluru.  After  deliberations,  it  emerged  that  instead  of  having  a  full-fledged  institute  for running courses of management on cultural institutes, the Ministry of Culture should run some short term courses for the personnel of cultural organizations. In the field of performing arts, the Kalakshetra Foundation has been declared, with an Act of Parliament, as an Institute of national importance.

(d): Does not arise.
