Chacha Nehru Scholarship for Artistic and Innovative Excellence is one among the scholarship provided by NCERT (National Council of Educational Research and Training) in the four major areas of Art Education (i,e Music, Dance, Visual Arts and Theatre) at the Secondary and Senior Secondary stages. Only those children who had participated in the National Camp organised by the National Bal Bhawan are eligible for the scheme of Chacha Nehru Scholarships for Artistic and Innovative Excellence.
The National Bal Bhawan has played a vital role in the promotion of arts and currently there are 73 state and district Bal Bhawans in the country. The National Bal Bhawan has instituted a system of
honouring talented children in different age groups through the Bal Shree scheme. The Bal Shree programme recognizes talent in the following areas:
Creative Performance

The National Bal Bhawan makes a selection of artistic kids through activities conducted at 3 levels, viz:
Local level by organizing 2-day camps in which 8 children (2 in each stream) are identified at the local level
Zonal Levels by organizing 3 days camps in which local experts, specialists from six zones, namely North, East, West, Central, South-I and South -II participate for selection of children
National Levels by organizing 4 day camps from the six zones in the country. A panel of experts and resource persons representing the four streams are identified to observe and assess the creativity of children.
The criteria for selection of children for the Bal Shree award includes (a) originality, (b) innovative approach, (c) fluency, (d) flexibility, (e) divergent thinking, (f) elaboration of ideas, (g) creative
processes culminating into meaningful products, (h) effective functioning in the group, (i) analytical and critical approach.
The National Bal Bhawan has developed a comprehensive activities bank in order to identify the creative skills of the children. During the selection process children are provided a barrier free environment and an interactive and supportive environment aimed at bringing out the best in children. Children thus selected are honoured by the President of India and presented a Bal
Shree certificate.
