==History==
Bharatendu Natya Academy came into existence as a drama institute on 2 July 1975, by efforts of the theatre personality [[Raj Bisaria]].

In 1975 its name was '''Bharatendu Natya Kendra''' and the class was running at the mini Rabindralay (near Lucknow Railway Station). At that time BNA did not have their own building; now it functions from the Bharatendu Bhawan in [[Gomti Nagar]] (Vikas Khand-1). [[Lucknow]].

In 1981 the institute started providing a two-year full-time diploma course in theatre training. The institute today selects 20 candidates every year for its two-year intensive post-graduate diploma course with scholarships for the first 12 students. [[Raj Bisaria]] was the founder-director. Hindi writer [[Amritlal Nagar]] was the first nominated chairperson of the institute. Today Bharatendu Natya Academy has become the second of its kind in India after the [[National School of Drama]], New Delhi.{{citation needed|date=November 2015}} At the end of their course, the second-year students make a visit to the [[Film and Television Institute of India]], [[Pune]] or [[Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute]], [[Kolkata]] for the basic training for film and television.
