Hi Manpreet Kaur,
I have checked and the answers given use the expression 'de l'époque' and not d'alors.
à/sur l'initiative du ministre de la Culture de l'époque Jack Lang
You could say :
à/sur l'iniative de Jack Lang qui était à l'époque ministre de la Culture
but very wordy.
Bonne Continuation !

À l’initiative d’alors Ministre de la Culture... -- At the initiative of the then Minister of Culture...
I don't see how you could use à l'époque without doing a major re-write of the sentence.
