ala Utsav is an initiative of Ministry of Human Resource Development

(MHRD) to promote arts in education by nurturing and showcasing the

artistic talent of school students at the secondary stage in the country. In

the context of education of Arts (Music, Theatre, Dance, Visual Arts and

Crafts), the initiative is guided by the recommendations of the National Focus

Group Position Paper (No. 1.7) on Arts, Music, Dance and Theatre for National

Curriculum Framework 2005 (NCF- 2005), and by the report of the Central

Advisory Board on Education (CABE) Sub-committee on Integration of Culture

Education in the School Curriculum. Rashtriya Madhyamik Siksha Abhiyan

(RMSA) recognises the importance of aesthetics and artistic experiences for

secondary-level students, which play a major role in creating awareness of

India’s rich cultural heritage and its vibrant diversity. Though India has a long

tradition of art and artistic practices, a uniform process of identifying artistic

talents in school education is yet to be developed. We have a long tradition of

use of arts in the process of learning. The narrative tradition is one such

example. These traditions also show us the creative expansion from individual to

the community, which contributes towards the overall development of the

society.
