Our Assessment
lowlow
Artist pension/financial-assistance frameworks exist, but I did not verify the promised Uttarakhand-specific increase from Rs 3,100 to Rs 5,100 for regional instrumentalists and Baajigars after age 60. Some artist-pension support exists, but the exact targeted pension increase is not verified. Budget: Artist pension/assistance exists; no Rs 5,100 targeted pension allocation found.
