Details:
The scheme "Financial Assistance to Troupes Going to Mumbai/Poona and Other Parts of the Country & Vice Versa" by the Tiatr Academy of Goa (TAG), Goa, aims to compensate Goan dramatic troupes towards their transportation costs, recognizing that staging Tiatrs in Mumbai, Poona, and other parts of the country is not always financially viable.

Benefits can also be availed for only one show staged in other locations such as Kolkata, Delhi, Gujarat, Nagpur, Bangalore, or Udaipur. Applications for this scheme are accepted one month in advance of the performance date, on a 'First Come First Serve' basis, and are subject to the availability of funds.
