Mysore/Mysuru: Even as successive Governments have been saying that they are committed to promotion of literature, arts and patronisation of artistes, senior artistes, who are entitled for a monthly pension of Rs.2,000, are facing hurdles in getting it.
In Mysuru, there are 333 writers and artistes representing various forms of arts such as Music, Dance, Theatre, Folklore, Yakshagana, Fine Arts, Sculpture etc., who are getting a monthly pension of Rs. 2,000. The pension earlier was Rs. 1,500, which was later hiked to Rs. 2,000 in Dec.2019. However, the artistes say that this pension is too little.
