                 Role of Puppetry in Education

                 Puppetry has played an important role in disseminating knowledge in most parts of the world. Puppetry imbibes elements of
                 all art forms such as literature, painting, sculpture, music, dance, drama and enables students to develop their creative abilities.
                 Puppetry has been used traditionally in India as a popular and an inexpensive medium to transmit knowledge about Indian
                 myths and legends. Since Puppetry is a dynamic art form that appeals to all age groups, this medium of communication has been
                 selected to serve as an aid for imparting education in schools. The CCRT provides a comprehensive and an integrated training
                 in the preparation, manipulation and production of such puppet programmes which may be used in variety of formal and non-
                 formal teaching situations.
