It is a new dimension of work and a milestone for promoting and preserving age-old tribal culture of the state. The tribes of Tripura are different in their origin and a majority of them belong to the Bodo group of Indo-Mongoloid families. Like all other tribal groups in the world, the tribal people of Tripura are rich in cultural folklore which has been handed down from generation to generation and is facing challenges of extinction due to modern waves of life. These have also created an ethnic identity crisis among them.
