Some people think that government is wasting money on the arts and that this money could be used better elsewhere. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is believed by some people that

government

expenditure on the arts is wasteful, and the same funds can be allocated to better use elsewhere. I completely disagree with

this

view, as the arts are an important part of the

culture

and

heritage

of any country, and without financial help from state its survival is impossible.

Firstly

, monetary help from rule is indispensable for the artists. To put it differently, the income of artists is generally low and most of them are so passionate about their work that they dedicate most of their time to their artwork.

Thus

, official help, in the form of stipends and pensions, becomes necessary for their survival as they may have no other reliable income source. If

government

aids to the artists are withdrawn, they may be forced to take up other occupations in order to survive, leading to the loss of

the art form

they created. For

this

reason,

government

expenditure on the arts and the artists is important.

Secondly

, since it is well known by everyone that,

art

is an important part of one’s

culture

and

heritage

. In order to preserve the

culture

and

heritage

of a particular region, the traditional

art

forms of that region, may that be in the form of paintings, dances or literature, must be preserved and kept alive.

Furthermore

, The cost involved in the preservation and sometimes revival of different

art

forms are too high to be borne by an individual or small groups,

thus

, making

government

intervention indispensable.

For instance

,

government

finances some courses, at the

government universities

Accept comma addition

government, universities

, linked to traditional

art

forms like Gatka, Kathak and Bharatnatium to name, but a few.

Thus

,

government

aid is vital to keep different

art

forms alive and blooming. To conclude, arts is an integral part of the

culture

and

heritage

and its survival and progress is important, which can be brought about by supporting the artists and keeping the various

art

forms alive,

however

, these tasks require a huge sum of money and are only possible with

government

intervention.
