1 min readThe grading will determine whether they can participate in an event: Huff Post
The Ministry of Culture has come up with an absurd policy.
According to an Indian Express report, the culture ministry has decided to rate artistes and writers across the country. The ratings will determine which events they will be sent to.
The grading has already begun.
Under a pilot project, the ministry has already graded 185 artists into three categories — O (outstanding), P (promising), W (waiting), the report said.
The ministry has issued a notice saying only “applicants placed in the Outstanding and Promising Categories will be selected for participation” in festivals.
