The
Centre for Cultural Resources and Training (CCRT) collects
resource material on the arts and crafts of the country
in the form of audio/video recordings, slides, photographs,
written texts and films. These resource materials are used
to enrich the content of the Cultural
Kit and provide teacher trainees and
other research students in the form of Cultural
Software with material on the arts of
India. The documentation programme is classified under
the literary, plastic and performing arts of India.
The
documentation for the year is planned keeping in view
the requirements of the Centre. The research is conducted
with the assistance of local scholars and experts in
the areas to be documented. After thorough fieldwork
and networking with the local authorities, The Centre
for Cultural Resources and Training’s (CCRT) documentation
team takes up the documentation work. Interaction with
artists of the living traditions help in reviving and
preservation of the dying art forms. The resources thus
collected are also used in the training programmes where
teachers are provided information of the regional variety
of cultural manifestations and are guided on how to work
out methodologies for cultural input in curriculum teaching.
