In
order to fulfill its aims and objectives, and also
to share and enlarge the scope of the Centre for Cultural
Resources and Training’s (CCRT) work in the field
of education, it conducts a variety of in-service teacher
training programmes throughout the year. While covering
broad areas of interlinking education with culture,
the basic emphasis in the in-services teacher training
programmes is on devising methodologies for development
of the child’s personality - particularly in
terms of helping the child to discover his/her latent
talent - and to express it creatively. The thrust is
on building up a pervasive consciousness of the Indian
Cultural Heritage through the utilization of local
material and community interaction and also involves
students in conservation of the natural and cultural
heritage.
Over the years, the Centre for Cultural Resources and
Training (CCRT) has conducted research and worked out methodologies for providing
a cultural component in classroom teaching, thereby to some extent, achieving
the objectives of the integrated approach to education using a culture base to
understand the various school disciplines.
