The members approved the proposal to increase each participant's daily allowance and start a facility centre to provide stationery to the students.

A proposal was submitted by the Student Development Board to increase the allowance. In this meeting, it was approved to increase the amount of the allowance to three hundred rupees. This three hundred rupees allowance is used to arrange breakfast and meals for the young artist. The concerned college provides an allowance to the students, while the university will provide free accommodation to all the young artists.
