some people think that government is wasting money on arts and this money is better spent some where else to what extent do you agree this view.

Arts

is a favourite pastime of mankind since the stone age. we see

this

by the discovery of hand drawings on caves in archaeological diggings. The interest in

arts

is widely encouraged and reached its peaks during the reigns of emperor Akbar. Though it has seen ups and downs, ongoing interest in

arts

is what we see. In the present era,

arts

form a way of expression, emotion and communication. Modern era government is encouraging various forms of

arts

like Music, dance, wall paintings. The idea behind

this

is that

arts

serve as a way of communication like

for example

painting walls with beautiful colours and designs encourages street hygiene and better garbage disposal.

Arts

also

influence the emotional health and well being of people, so policymakers find it as a way to keep them happy. Government spending money on

arts

is justified in other ways like

On the contrary

, Governments have fund scarcity to fulfil priority tasks like better roads, utilities at subsidy or cheaper price, advanced health care establishments and educational benefits to students. Allotting funds to

arts

are like diverting them from essential services.

Arts

are a taste of rich so poor people are not fancy about them. I partly agree with the statement that money spent on

arts

is waste, but I believe that careful allotment and fund utilisation with checkpoints minimises misutilization.
