Introduction:
While reviewing the field of creative arts, the Department of Culture, Govt. of India came to the conclusion that no schemes providing financial support to creative artists were available in the country. |
It was also felt that such a scheme should be implemented at the earliest to revive the country’s traditional art forms. With this thought in mind it was decided that a scheme of awarding fellowships to exemplary performers in various creative fields would be introduced.
This scheme, known as the ‘Scheme for the Award of Fellowships to Outstanding Artists in the fields of Performing, Literary and Plastic Arts’ is made available to artists in rural and tribal areas
