The Scheme of award to Young Talented Artistes is being implemented by Ministry of Culture, Government of India through Zonal Cultural Centres to promote the young talented artistes in the age group of 18-31 years in the field of various folk art forms which are rare and at the verge of extinct.

There are so many rare and vanishing art forms in the constituent States of NZCC which need to be encouraged through this scheme.
