Role
of Culture in Society
|
|
|
Culture
is the key to the creative potential of community
or society. Arts are the most important facets
of culture. Art transmits ideas and beliefs
across generations reminding people what their
ancestors thought and what they upheld as beautiful
and precious. The promotion, preservation and
dissemination of information on India’s
cultural heritage has been the prime concern
of Department of Culture, Ministry of Tourism
and Culture, Government of India.

About
Centre for Cultural Resources and Training
|
The
Centre for Cultural Resources and Training
(CCRT) was set up in May 1979 by the then Ministry
of Education to implement a Scheme of Propagation
of Culture amongst students. Today, it has
become one of the premier cultural institutions
in the country and perhaps one of its kind
in the world working in the field of linking
education with culture and providing methodologies
by which Culture can be used as a base for
making education more meaningful for the children
of the country.

The
training programmes which are conducted by
the CCRT throughout the country for teachers
and teacher educators stress on the role
of culture in all the developmental activities
which include Education, Science and Technology,
Housing, Medicines, Agriculture, etc. The
CCRT also organises various educational activities
for school children and children belonging
to governmental and nongovernmental organizations. Under
its Community and Extension Feedback Programme
the Centre organises special tours to monuments,
museums, art galleries, craft centres, zoological
parks and gardens, camps on conservation
of natural and cultural heritage, camps on
learning crafts using low cost locally available
resources, lectures and demonstrations by
artists and experts in various art forms
and craft persons in schools. These educational
activities emphasize the need for the intellectual
and aesthetic development of the children.
