The Concept Note of the National Seminar
In recent times, special efforts have been made in our country to introduce the study of
folklore as academic discipline. The study and research in folklore are going on in different
ways in India. In this context the role of Calcutta University, Gauhati University and Mysore
University were really praise worthy. Since the post independent period the study and
cultivation of folklore have widely been popularized in different Indian Universities under
different departments. Folklore studies in South India have been enhanced to a great extent.
The study folklore has also achieved a remarkable place in the Eastern region too.
University of Kalyani has taken a lead by setting up a full-fledged Folklore Department in the
year 1990. Developmental strategies in folklore studies have also been taken in North-East
India also. Multidisciplinary co-ordinated approach and synthesis have been devised in this
zone of the country. This venture will add greatly to our understanding of the very important
folk traditions of the Eastern and North-East zone of India and promote the exchange of
folkloristic discourses and we will be able to judge the progressive growth of the study of
folklore and tribal studies as an academic discipline in Eastern and North-East India. It
needs to be emphasized that we look forward to present multidimensional approach of our
cultural heritage.
Established in 1990, the Department of Folklore is one of the few departments in the country
devoted exclusively to the academic pursuit of Folkloristics. The Department is an important
centre of folklore research in West Bengal as well as India. The Department of Folklore of
this University is going to celebrate its Silver Jubilee Anniversary this year 2014-2015.
