According to DoT, it was ready to aid Rs 1 crore if the festival would have organised in January. However, the date of February has been selected for the festival due to the G20 meeting in the city. Now, it is learnt that a sum of Rs 3-4 crore is expected to conduct the festival, but there is a bleak chance of getting adequate funds for it from the government. Hence the organising committee has decided to hold the festival through people’s participation and sponsors.
