Ever since its creation in 1884, the Alliance Française de Paris has helped the Alliances Françaises expand their network the world over. In July 2007, its status was modified and it became the Fondation Alliance Française. This foundation is officially recognised as a non-profit organisation and represents the moral and legal referent of the Alliances Françaises throughout the world.
There are 17 Alliances Françaises on the Indian subcontinent. 16 are located in India (Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Bhopal, Chandigarh, Chennai, Goa, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Karikal, Kolkata, Mahe, Mumbai, New Delhi, Pondicherry, Pune and Trivandrum) and 1 in Nepal. These committees are placed under the auspices of the Délégation Générale de l’Alliance Française en Inde et au Népal (DGAF). The current Délégué Général is Mr Alain Rechner. The DGAF acts as a coordinator of the Alliances network in India and is the main contact between them and the Cooperation and Cultural Action Office of the French Embassy in India (SCAC). Besides, the Délégué Général simultaneously holds a position as a Conseiller Culturel Adjoint since the 1980s. The DGAF works closely with the French Embassy on the staging of various events for the Alliance Française (itinerant exhibitions, scientific conventions, etc.) within the Indian network, but also on organizing the different teaching activities, on training the professors and on supervising the DELF and DALF examinations.

The Bangalore School of Music sees a world where music unites. Established in 1987, we've enjoyed promoting a deeper understanding and appreciation of music. To us, music is a cause, it is a commitment. The music we teach helps instill discipline, confidence and a sense of commitment. To some it is a powerful channel to express emotions. And for many of our students, music has become a profession or passion that has really taken them around the globe as cultural ambassadors.
The BSM today, has evolved into an institute that encourages individuals to learn, create and appreciate not just music, but also other important art forms like dance, theatre, fine art & more. It creates a culture that transcends all boundaries and backgrounds.

The Delhi Music Society

The Delhi Music Society is a voluntary, not-for-profit organisation devoted to the dissemination and enjoyment of music, especially western classical music. It was registered under the Societies Act in 1953, with the primary objective to promote and encourage music and dance, to arrange concerts and recitals by visiting and local artistes and to collaborate with other cultural organisations to develop among the musically inclined, an appreciation and understanding of western classical music.The Delhi School of Music, which was established by the Delhi Music Society, is currently the premier institution for the teaching of western classical music in the Capital. The School came into being in 1966 under the direction of Dr.H.J.Koellreutter, a musician and composer who was also the head of Max Mueller Bhavan in Delhi. From 1970 onwards, the School has been headed by qualified Indian teachers of western classical music, notably H.P.Palamkote, who nurtured the School for more than two decades. Today, it caters to about 700 students annually, and provides musical tuition in instrumental (piano, keyboard, guitar, violin, flute, saxophone, drums and recorder), vocal and dance sections.

Founded in 1958 and inaugurated in 1962, the India International Centre is a premier non-official organisation in the capital, playing a unique cultural and intellectual role in the life of the citizens. 
The munificent grant from the Rockefeller Foundation, handsome support from the Universities which became its foundation members, the personal interest taken in the project by Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, the encouragement of the Government of India and the energetic work of a small organizing committee under the chairmanship of Dr. C.D. Deshmukh saw to the establishment of the Centre in the late sixties. The Centre was intended, in the words of its Founder President, to provide 'facilities for exemplars of various cultures to stay together a while for a not too professional or hurried exchange of ideas or thoughts, but in order that the sharpness of intellectual exchange is softened by the graciousness of good fellowship'.
The Centre is non-official in character, non-aligned in its motivation and approach and uncommitted to any particular form of governmental, political, economic or religious affiliation.
The Centre's reputation over the years has become such that several intellectual and cultural institutions in the country and, occasionally some abroad, have sought to organize functions in the Centre, often in collaboration with it. This is as it should be because we recognize that the Centre cannot by itself cover as much ground as it can with the cooperation of others. In fact, one could perhaps say that the Centre's major role is to act as a catalyst as well as a promoter of intellectual and cultural activity throughout the country and provide a suitable ambience for this.
