RSS outfit, ‘Sanskar Bharti’, on Sunday decided to take the initiative for “financial assistance” to cultural artists affected by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and submit a memorandum to this effect to the Central and State Governments.
‘Sanskar Bharti’ had organised a program, ‘Dard Na Jaane Koye’, here to discuss the “current challenges” in the field of arts and the struggle of artists . It was presided over by leading artists of various art disciplines.
“In this online forum, collecting funds for financial assistance of artists affected by the corona pandemic was seriously considered. It was envisaged to provide assistance to artists under social responsibility from corporate houses,” according to the organisation.
“Efforts will be made by Sanskar Bharati to meet the minimum needs of the artists. Along with this, in this difficult time of pandemic, a memorandum will also be submitted to the central government and various state governments to make them aware of the problems of artists,” it said.
In this seminar, tributes were paid to the departed artists who lost their lives due to Coronavirus.
