“Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar" - What young dancers should know about this award - May 2018

Young and deserving dancers must be made aware of the process for selecting the prestigious Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar. Sincere artists wouldn't campaign for awards either directly or through indirect means but it is in the interest of classical dance that the government initiatives be made known for two basic reasons.

1. Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar is one of the most prestigious of the awards. 

2. There have been issues in the past about how the awardee were chosen. 

The above two reasons justify that all Gurus/ Dance Enthusiasts/ General Publid are also recommended to participate in the process of nominating the deserving talent in a pro-active manner. 

To start with it is our initiative to therefore remind the dance community of the process involved so that the deserving are nominated and no power-play takes place. Having said this, there should also be restraint exercised by public figures and the influential that they do not recommend in any public forum their preferences.
