Grant Denial Pushes Theatre Repertories Of MP Into Debt Crisis


Theatre artistes in Bhopal say the Centre’s appeal provision for denied grants is ineffective, calling the process lengthy and futile. Around 135 of 214 repertories in Madhya Pradesh were denied funding for 2024–26, pushing many into debt. Artistes claim losses of Rs 20–40 lakh per group, leaving them in severe financial distress.
