But what about the present day Situation of Ravinder Manch?

After witnessing a vibrant past to boast about the Ravindra Manch is in a sorry state today. Once upon a time its evenings were filled with the sterling performances by accomplished artisans who were encouraged by the connoisseur audience but the Ravindra Manch of today is in dilapidated condition. The place was blessed with an impressive talent pool and accomplished artisans who presented their best performances in various schools of art. There were great dramatists staging their best shows, renowned and respected artisans displaying their best paintings, Sculptors who could fill oxygen of life in sculptures due to their unmatched skills and singers who, when sang, it seemed that even the stone walls of the center will start dancing. Most of its performances either used to be free or negligibly charged. 

But due to the negligence of the State Government, the cultural center suffered a lot. The building started experiencing the tyrannies of times and negligence by the State Government added salt to the wound. Even when the proposal of renovation was presented several years ago, it was caught in the unnecessary legal meshes. Sanctioned under Tagore Cultural Complex Scheme, the initial allocation of 34 cores was to be spent on different phases of renovation. However, the IPTA (Indian People’s Theatre Association) alleged that the authorities has changed the proposed renovation plan as per approved by the National School of Drama. 

The artists of ravindra Manch lack their trademark excitement and zeal. Audiences are turning away and this old cultural centre is helpless to do something about the whole satiation. This is one of the worst examples of State Government's lackluster attitude towards the cultural centers of the state.
