NCERT - Chacha Nehru Scholarship (Bal Shree Programme) for Artistic & Innovative Excellence

The importance of arts in the education system has been repeatedly discussed and
recommended over the decades. Rather than encouraging the pursuit of arts the
education system in the country tends to relegate arts to be ‘useful hobbies’ and
‘leisure activities’. The National Curriculum Framework (NCF) – 2005 reiterates the
importance of Art Education at all stages of school education so that ‘we retain our
unique cultural identity in all its diversity’. NCF – 2005 recommends four major areas
of Art Education at the Secondary and Senior Secondary stages. These include
Music, Dance, Visual Arts and Theatre. NCF – 2005 also stipulates that students
must be introduced to the rich and varied art traditions in the country with due
emphasis on learning rather than teaching. The approach should be participatory,
interactive and experiential, rather than instructive. Such an approach should foster
self-expression and self-awareness among children. It should create aesthetic
awareness and develop imagination, enhance confidence in movement and speech,
promote tolerance and sensitivity.
