In an effort to unearth talent, Delhi’s Minister for Art, Culture and Tourism Kapil Mishra on Thursday held a meeting to fine tune a detailed road map for proposed ‘Talent Hunt Scheme’ was presented. The aim of the scheme is to provide emerging artists a platform to showcase their talent, receive mentorship and gain recognition at the international level.
This scheme was first announced by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta during the presentation of Delhi Government’s Budget 2025–26. It is a significant initiative aimed at nurturing Delhi’s immense creative potential in various fields such as music, dance, folk art, classical and instrumental music, and photography. The scheme not only aims to hone talents but also to help them reach global platforms.
Speaking on the occasion, Mishra said, “The launch of the Talent Hunt Scheme is a commendable step towards making Delhi the global capital of creativity. Under the visionary leadership of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, we are not only committed to discovering talent but also to providing them with proper guidance and platforms.
This initiative will add a new dimension to Delhi’s cultural richness. Every skilled individual in Delhi will get a fair chance to display their abilities, without any discrimination. Participation
from diverse communities will be encouraged to reflect the cultural diversity of the capital.
Through workshops, competitions, and mentorship programs, participants will be provided with essential resources and networks to elevate their art to the next level.”
The allocated budget for this scheme will be utilised to establish training centers, launch promotional campaigns, and organise events that highlight the achievements of the participants.
The Talent Hunt Scheme is not only an effort to boost economic growth through creative activities, but also a tribute to Delhi’s vibrant cultural heritage.
