## ANSWER

- (a)        The  Scheme  for  setting  up  of  Multipurpose  Cultural  Complexes  was discontinued  with  effect  from  1.4.2007  and  revamped  and  re-introduced  as Tagore  Cultural  Complexes  (TCC)  Scheme.    The  Scheme  of  TCC  has  further been made a component known as 'Financial Assistance for Tagore Cultural Complexes'  under  'Scheme  of  Financial  Assistance  for  Creation  of  Cultural Infrastructure'. Under  the existing  scheme  component  of  TCC,  financial assistance is provided to the State Governments/UT administrations, Bodies set up  or  sponsored  by  State  Governments/UT  Administrations  or  organizations under it; Universities, Municipal Corporations and other Government approved agencies and reputed not-for-profit  organizations  for  setting  up  new  TCCs  of varying  scales  and  upgradation;  and  for  modernization  and  renovation  of existing Tagore Auditoria/Cultural complexes etc. on matching share basis of 60%:40% between Centre and the grantee organization pertaining to other than North Eastern Region(NER). In case of projects in NER, matching share between Centre and grantee organisation is 90%:10%.  Financial assistance  under the scheme component for any project will be normally up to a maximum of Rs.15 crore.
- (a) &(c) The  details  of  such  complexes  in  the  country,  State/UT-wise  under Scheme  component  of  TCC  and  the  quantum  of  fund  utilized  for  the purpose, complex-wise are attached as per  Annexure-I.

The proposals are recommended  by  the National Appraisal Committee constituted under the scheme component of TCC only when the proposals meet the criteria specified under the guidelines and found to be complete in all respects.  If certain deficiency is found in  the  proposal,  the  same  is  conveyed  to  the  project  authority  for rectification.  Hence,  no  time  line  can  be  specified  for  clearance  of proposals.
