Speaking to The Hindu, Mr. Sisodia said the government’s plan is to take high-quality arts and culture from their traditional home in Lutyens’ Delhi to the “gullies” all around the city. Children in Mandawali in my constituency (Patparganj) learn kathak, but they have to come to central Delhi to attend events,” said Mr. Sisodia, who is also Arts, Culture, Languages and Tourism Minister. To address that, Mr. Sisodia said, the government is planning to set up arts and culture clubs across the city. Making arts more accessible to children, Mr. Sisodia, who is also the Education Minister, said free performing arts training would be given at all Delhi government schools. With lack of good venues affecting events in the Capital, Mr. Sisodia admitted it was the “biggest challenge”.
