Yup a great initiative, but also a very sensitive one. However, so far it has been handled with great care. It’s a very innocent and thoughtful revival of indigenous culture at grass-root level without mixing it with politics of xenophobia, victimisation, or baggage of history.

It’s just a wonderful reconnect between old and new generation and reclaiming of everything that got lost during years of violence and religious extremism.

Yes, it also helps in building
self-esteem, confidance, motivation, self-respect and brotherhood. During freedom struggle there were efforts to revive culture, art & literature, some told history with a positive perspective and poets glorified culture to tell that we are no inferior to Britishers, no less in mental calibre and we are civilised. This I think boosted morale . These things are necessary so that our next generation know their roots. They should learn western logic and thought at the same time they should know what are their own values, custom, tradition, rituals, folk song, folk dance else we will forget what we have.
