Chayanot, is one of the leading cultural based learning organization in Bangladesh. This is most renowned to my thinking, one of the best also. Many people come here to learn music, instrument etc. They organised some cultural show as well which peoples can enjoy a lot. It has a school named Nalonda, which is also popular. This has a well designed building with nice interior and exterior. Location is very easy to reach.

As in the case of many similar organizations, it was established during Pakistani rule in Bangladesh to promote and nurture the cultural and musical heritage of Bengal. Every year, Chhayanaut arranges a big program 1. celebrate the Pahela Boishakh, the first day of the Bengali new year. Its academics rules and regulations as like as shanti niketon, Calcutta

Review №17

Pakistan’s rulers, since its inception in 1947, tried to use religion to rupture the plural cultural identity of Muslim Bengalis; this was reflected in their onslaught on Bangla language and culture. This was the political and cultural milieu in which Chhayanaut was established in 1961. The organization was founded after hosting the birth centenary celebrations of Rabindranath Tagore. Chhayanaut nurtures Bengali culture with the study of Tagore as its central focus.At the same time, Chhayanaut became an open forum for people to stand in solidarity with the oppressed and the distressed.Chhayanaut created a landmark national tradition by launching the celebration of Bengali seasons. The musical welcome on the first dawn of Baisakh under the banyan tree in Ramna, begun in 1967, brought back the Bengali new year into the consciousness of city dwellers. Thus, Chhayanaut has become a partner in the glory of the Bengali passage that began with a cultural renaissance and led to the war for independence. During the liberation war, Chhayanaut singers organised performances to inspire freedom fighters and refugees. After independence, Chhayanaut has been involved in seeking creative ways to broaden and intensify the practice of music and, more broadly, the celebration of Bangla culture.Bangladesh has earned independence, but hostility to a humane, plural Bengali ethos has not entirely disappeared. On April 14, 2001, ten people were killed and 35 injured in a bomb attack during the celebrations of the Bengali new year organised by Chhayanaut at the Ramna batamul. However, even this barbaric act failed to deter the artists and music students of Chhayanaut. Backed by a groundswell of massive popular support from the public, the institution celebrated the following Bengali new year with its traditional musical welcome in an open-air concert at dawn. The annual concertat the Ramna batamul, free and open to the public, is an inseparable part of the Bengali national heritage today.Chhayanaut believes the nation will find its path to development through this cultural renaissance. It believes that our celebration of fraternity and creativity under the broad rubric of an inclusive humanist culture will triumph,leaving behindreligious bigotry, fundamentalism and xenophobia. Chhayanaut believes that an outlook enriched by a humane cultural consciousness will spur the creation of a tolerant and broadminded nation. This is how Bengalis will progress towards building a modern advanced society.

Once an extremely progressive cultural institute that contributed to the liberation war of Bangladesh. In course of time has become slow and not kept up with changing times. The institute is now a Tagore specialist centre. It however organizes classical music nights. The only problem. They force females to wear Saree. And males to wear Punjabi (Korta). Still a good place to learn music. Still has some good teachers.

Review №58

It is a good institution which boasts of our culture and cultural identity. However, most of the teachers, although very good at music, are not versed in the true soul and emotions of the music and instead, just try to make the students dully memorize the tune and the lyrics of any song. And they dont teach the basics of taal (beat), raag etc. They just dump a whole load of data about any song without explaining first. Besides, the hotline of the institution cannot be reached sometimes and that is very inconvenient for many people.

Chhaynaut is the most culturally active place to visit in Dhaka. It may be called the Shantinikatan of Bangladesh. Chhaynaut has its own multi storied building and its quite specious. It has been built with funds from local cultured people, some donations from intellectuals and finally with the donations of government. It has built-in school named Nalonda, with a completely different vision to create good citizens for the nation. Everyone should have a look at Chhayanaut Vaban to watch what the excellence theyre creating and I hope it would be a great pleasure!!!
