Pakistan\u2019s National Heritage and Culture Division (NHCD) has begun disbursing much-needed financial support to artists through the Federal Government Artists Welfare Fund (FGAWF) for the fiscal year 2024-25. The initiative aims to provide crucial assistance to members of the artistic community nationwide, reflecting the government\u2019s ongoing commitment to the preservation and promotion of the country\u2019s cultural heritage.<\/p>\n
The NHCD is implementing a phased approach to the distribution of funds. In the first phase, 60 artists have received financial support ranging from Rs. 800,000 to Rs. 130,000 each, amounting to a total of Rs. 16,520,000. Cheques for these recipients have already been issued.<\/p>\n
In the next phase, support for an additional 140 artists has been approved, with each beneficiary set to receive between Rs. 100,000 and Rs. 75,000. The total amount allocated for these disbursements stands at Rs. 12,330,000. Cheques for this group have already been signed and will be sent to the Accountant General Pakistan Revenues (AGPR), with payments expected to be processed imminently.<\/p>\n
The Federal Government Artists Welfare Fund Steering Committee has approved financial assistance for a total of 1,086 artists across Pakistan. The selection followed a comprehensive shortlisting process, ensuring that aid reaches deserving artists from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds.<\/p>\n
Government officials emphasize that this initiative underlines the state\u2019s broader commitment to providing welfare to those who play a vital role in enriching the nation\u2019s cultural landscape.
