statement and consider that it is important to keep the

of a nation alive, because of several reasons. It is granted that the

government

should focus and give priority to welfare projects like uplifting the health care facilities and education. But it does not mean that it should be at the cost of cutting the funds to the arts and

.  The most important reason, why finances to the arts should not face any cut downs, is because it is not self-sustainable.

In other words

Thus

Furthermore

play a vital role in infusing the patriotism amongst the successors.

For example

For instance

Thus

because they are not self-sustaining, but vital for a nation's identity and patriotism.

Thus
