Abstract:

Culture Based Education is a powerful agent of human empowerment , employment and skill diversification in multi cultural societies. A country like India, with it’s invaluable cultural heritage has multitudes of different ways of expression, of art, of sustainable occupations, of languages and of life training. Education needs to reflect that diversity, not use a standardised brush, but celebrate the difference, so that students from smaller, fringe communities have voice and self esteem. The paper explores methods of creating avenues for CBE in rural and semi urban classrooms of West Bengal.
