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. |
