Importance of folk culture and patachitra in human development

The overall development and evolution of human beings is directly and indirectly influencing the social structure as well as how the society will create its context is dependent on the education, moral values and culture of the people. The new dimensions of the environment created for the different types of changes in the society, some of the ancient cultures, especially the patachitra is on the verge of extinction. The reason for this is that there is a lack of capital and the new initiative needed by the new generation to carry forward the traditional culture at various levels of society. This has resulted in a conflict between the patachitra artists who are the holders and the carriers. It is not possible to retain the ancient traditional culture in the environmental changes that have been created. As a result of the change in the environmental perspective of the new and the old, these ancient cultures can be pointed out as the cause of extinction. The special pillar of the development of science and technology in human development is the expansion of knowledge and awareness. And patachitra is particularly suitable as a medium for this awareness. Patachitra is not only a part of folk culture but also a great medium of small industry which is almost extinct only due to lack of proper environment, culture and industrial initiative. Through patachitra art and artists not only expressed their own artistic ideas, but also expressed the simple way of life and creative thinking of people. Also, with the help of photo images, various environmental awareness of the society could be disseminated at every social level. People from all walks of life can easily be aware of any thematic awareness through images and songs, hence the renaissance of patachitra art as a medium to creatively serve the environment, culture and public awareness without prejudice to the present generation.
