## MINISTER OF CULTURE, TOURISM AND DEVELOPMENT OF NORTH EASTERN REGION

## (G. KISHAN REDDY)

- (a) to (b): Allocation  under  Museum  Grant  Scheme  have  remained  partly  under-utilized during the last three years. Therefore, in order to effect optimum utilization of funds, guidelines of Museum Grant Scheme were revised in November, 2021. Two new components viz. Virtual Experiential Museums (VEM) and Projects of National  Importance  have  been  added  in  the  Scheme.  Under  the  revised Scheme, Public Sector Undertakings are also now eligible, besides, Central/State  Government  Societies  (registered  under  Societies  Registration Act,  1860),  Autonomous  bodies,  Local  Bodies  and  Trusts  for  submitting proposals  for  grant.  In  order  to  expedite  the  release  of  grant  to  the  eligible entities, proposals/Detailed Project Reports are being scrutinized on top priority so that deficiencies in the proposals can be communicated without any delay.
- (c):
- (d):
- (e):
- As per Annexure.
- No, Sir.
- Does not arise.
