Thesis Topic: The Folk Art of Rangpur District: A Study on Socioeconomic Perspective.
Duration of Program: One-year program (full-time).

Details: In this research project, I explain the materials, structure and usage of traditional crafts and assess how can we improve the folk artisan's socioeconomic life. I use Text and Contextual Method with the help of sociocultural context and performance or human skill application context of folk art of Rangpur District in Bangladesh. Thereafter, field Study has supported to do this research work with the help of active and passive tradition bearer. I found that Bangladesh has the great importance of the production and expansion of folk art. The socioeconomic standard of the folk artisans will be uplifted if we can ensure necessary financial help, technical advantage, proper marketing system, easy export processing and proper marketing policy adoption and implementation. Otherwise, the traditional folk art might be lost due to the lack of folk artisans.
