It is evident that there is no alternative to establish a folklore academy to collect, research, preserve and present our folklores which is an asset to our nation like any. To achieve this goal we need the most modern technology. Mymensingh is geographically on central position of the country and yet not the capital. Most importantly Mymensingh is rich with these folklores itself and thus it is quite natural to be holding this establishment.
Mymensigh Shilpakala Academy has taken initiatives to establish such an academy. The park road adjoining the site is already a cultural hub. Therefore there is a good possibility to turn the area into a heritage lane. It can be assumed that such an establishment should be deigned as such so that the urban impact is positively large where folklore and folk culture will not only retain but also thrive through urban stitching. It has been emphasized that we are as though hold our culture and tradition to our utmost sentiment, cultural invasion has become a threat now and it is high time to establish such academy to protect our identity.
