The objective of the Scheme is to support voluntary cultural organizations and government-aided cultural organizations in their efforts to create appropriately equipped training, rehearsal and performance spaces for artistes.
The cases sanctioned under the erstwhile Scheme of Building Grants to Cultural Organizations will not be usually reopened nor will the sanctioned amount be usually enhanced under the provisions of this scheme, but the installments pending for disbursement in such cases of building grant may, at the request of the grantee organization, be released by following the procedure and the documentary requirements contemplated in this scheme for the release of different installments. However, in cases where no installments have been released, the grantee organization may request for cancellation of the earlier sanction and fresh consideration of its project under this scheme. In past cases where the sanctioned grant has not been released in full and the project is lying incomplete and the grantee organization seeks a review of its case and enhancement of the sanctioned grant under this scheme, a view will be taken on a case to case basis.
