Best Places to Cherish Stage Plays in Delhi

Besides being the industrial and political capital of the country, Delhi also happens to be a hub of education, art, and culture. People from all around the country and even abroad come here to study in some of the premiere institutes like the University of Delhi, Jawaharlal Nehru University, National School of Drama, and Jamia Millia Islamia public university. Studying in such prominent institutes not only allows you to interact with the best teachers and students, but also helps you to grow in other dimensions such as sports, oratory, and theatre.
