Haryana Launches “Pandit Lakhmi Chand Kalakar Samajik Samman Yojana” to Support Veteran Artistes
The Haryana government has introduced the “Pandit Lakhmi Chand Kalakar Samajik Samman Yojana”, aimed at providing monthly financial assistance to elderly and economically weaker artistes who have significantly contributed to the arts in the state. The scheme reflects the government’s commitment to preserving the state’s rich cultural heritage by recognizing and supporting senior contributors in fields like music, dance, painting, and theatre.
The Haryana Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, approved this scheme on May 5, 2025, ensuring monthly honorariums for qualified senior artistes. This move comes as a much-needed step toward supporting aged artistes who lack financial stability but have played a vital role in preserving and enriching the state’s artistic legacy.
