## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF CULTURE AND TOURISM (SHRI GAJENDRA SINGH SHEKHAWAT)

(a)  and  (b)  The  details  of  the  number  of  beneficiaries  including  artists  and  cultural  organisations supported  under  various  components  of  Kala  Sanskriti  Vikas  Yojana  (KSVY)  during  the  last  three years  across  the  country,  component-wise  and  State/UT-wise  are  given  in  the  Annexure.  Further, KSVY being a Central Sector Scheme, there is no provision for allocation of funds Constituency-wise / region-wise.

(c) Eligible beneficiaries, i.e., cultural organisations and individual artists, are required to submit their applications/proposals along with all mandatory supporting documents. Applications/proposals that are complete in all respects are examined by the Expert/Evaluation Committee constituted by the Ministry for the purpose. The Committee makes its recommendations on the merit of each proposal/application after due consideration of the provisions of the scheme guidelines, the cultural performances/activities undertaken and other relevant factors.

(d)  and  (e)  Government  reviews  the  policy  time  to  time,  however  at  present  there  is  no  specific provision for allocation of funds Constituency-wise, as KSVY being a Central Sector Scheme.

Annexure referred to in reply of part (a) and (b) of the Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No.3708 for 16.03.2026
