These ZCCs organize various cultural activities and programmes on regular basis all over India for which annual grant-in-aid is provided to them.

  Toincrease coverage of KSVY schemes/components, promote protection of cultural heritage and improve participation by emerging artists and traditional performing groups, the Ministry of Culture has been making continuous efforts to disseminate the information regarding its schemes through advertisements in newspapers, Ministry’s website, social media platforms, Zonal Culture Centers and Akademies.

The Ministry through its Zonal Culture Centres and Akademies provide a platform to emerging artists by engaging them in various cultural programmes, festivals, workshops and exhibitions organized across their member States. These engagements enable artists to showcase their talent, gain wider exposure and preserve and promote traditional art forms. The artists are also provided honorarium, TA/DA, boarding and lodging, local transport etc. which help supplement their income and encourage them to pursue their art as a sustainable livelihood, thereby contributing to their self-reliance.
