== History ==<br />
The association of ITC to music began with the ITC Sangeet Sammelan held in Delhi in 1971. <ref>{{Cite web |title=ITC Sangeet Research Academy |url=https://itcsra.org/ |access-date=2025-12-04 |language=en-US}}</ref> The sammelan featuring the luminaries of Indian Classical Music created quite a stir in the capital city. Thus, ITC decided to patronize Indian Classical Music which led to the formation of the Sangeet Research Academy in 1977. <ref>{{Cite web |title=ITC Sangeet Research Academy |url=https://itcsra.org/ |access-date=2025-12-04 |language=en-US}}</ref> The aim was to establish a modern ''gurukul'' and promote the age-old ''Guru-Shishya Parampara.'' <br />
<br />
The maestros of Indian Classical Music who joined as the faculty members of the academy were Nissar Hussain Khan (Sahaswan Gharana), Hirabai Barodekar (Kirana Gharana), Ishtiaq Hussain Khan (Rampur Gharana), Nivrittibua Sarnaik (Atrauli-Jaipur Gharana), Girija Devi (Benaras Gharana), Latafat Hussain Khan (Agra Gharana). <ref>{{Cite web |title=ITC Sangeet Research Academy |url=https://itcsra.org/ |access-date=2025-12-04 |language=en-US}}</ref> Instrumental training in the academy was introduced in 2002. The department was headed by Buddhadev Dasgupta who was the member of the expert committee for a long time. <br />
<br />
The academy presently runs as a public charitable trust under the professional management of the board of trustees. The aims and objectives of the academy are creating an effective training system, rationalizing traditional data through modern research techniques and preservation of music. <br />
<br />
==Annual festival==<br />
ITC SRA organizes a classical music festival, the [[ITC SRA Sangeet Sammelan|ITC Sangeet Sammelan]], every year.
