National School of Drama (popularly shortened to NSD) is a training institute for theatre, located in New Delhi, India. It was established in 1959 under the auspices of Sangeet Natak Akademi. It became autonomous in 1975. As a part of its operations, it also runs a repertory theatre. In a bid to decentralize its activities, NSD opened Regional Resource Centres (RRC) across India, the first of which was opened at Bangalore in 1994.
