Mr. Alam said several interest groups will be involved in this program, most notably the education department and the district and department heads of the arts councils. The directors of the Divisional Art Councils operating under the Punjab Council of the Arts are responsible for the implementation of all activities.
First, the directors conduct audits at local level in various disciplines. The selected candidates are then asked to act at division level and the officials receive the prize money. In addition, competitors from all disciplines receive incentive awards.
For the grand finale at the provincial level, a mega show will take place in Lahore, where top athletes win prizes in addition to encouragement prizes for other participants. The main goal is to introduce young talent to create financial opportunities for them. However, all of these programs and performances take place online during the Covid 19 pandemic, Alam said
