-WHY WE BUILD IT
-A concerning trend is emerging in - Uttarakhand, where the younger generation is gradually - forgetting their cultural heritage and traditional rituals. This decline in cultural - knowledge is evident across generations, with each successive generation possessing less - knowledge than the previous one. For instance, the amount of cultural knowledge possessed by - grandparents is significantly more than that of their children, and the cultural knowledge - of today's youth is likely to be even less than that of their parents. If this trend - continues, there is a risk that the cultural heritage of Uttarakhand may eventually - disappear from the society. This loss would not only erase the region's rich cultural - identity but also deprive future generations of their cultural roots and traditions.
-Explore, Learn and Discover the Beauty of Uttarakhand's Culture
- -To address this problem, we have - come up with a solution to digitize this cultural - knowledge. Since today's generation is more comfortable with technology, we aim to - provide a platform where they can learn about their cultural heritage using their - devices, from anywhere in the world. By doing so, we hope to make cultural knowledge - more accessible and engaging for the younger generation, and thus help preserve the rich - cultural heritage of Uttarakhand.
