Jawhar Sircar’s supplementary question during Question Hour on cultural groups across the country not getting funds under various schemes year after year

Sir, thank you very much for even looking at me. सर, वह तो ठीक है। .. आगे-पीछे , दाएं-बाएं सब देखतेहȅ। Yes, Sir, I have. Sir, there is a reply given to this question which refers to certain schemes. मȅआपसेयह सवाल भी करूँगा, आपसेयह िवनती भी करूँगा िक यह जो इतनी सारी ÎकीÇस हȅ , इनमȂकुछ गड़बड़ हो रही है। गड़बड़ ऐसी कहो िक these schemes are the lifeblood of culture. Hundreds and thousands of groups in India depend on these schemes like Cultural Function and Production Grant Scheme, Repertory Grant Scheme, National Culture Fund scheme, but they are not getting their funds. Sir, they are not getting funds, not only that year — िजस साल मȅएÃलाई करता हूँ, उस साल तो िमलता ही नहीं है — but they do not get it even the next year. Sir, will you kindly look into this because all the cultural groups of India are complaining that they are just not getting it for one, two, three and four years?
