Youth in Ramechhap Unite to Preserve Traditional Folk Songs and Chudka Bhajans

Youth groups in Ramechhap district have come together to preserve fading traditional folk music and Chudka Bhajans, aiming to protect cultural heritage that is slowly disappearing from daily life. The initiative is being led by local young volunteers who are organizing community programs, training sessions, and cultural performances to revive interest in traditional music.

Organizers said that modernization and migration have reduced the number of people practicing folk songs and Chudka Bhajans, which were once an important part of village life. By recording old songs, learning from senior musicians, and performing at local festivals, the youth hope to pass these traditions on to the next generation.

Local elders have welcomed the effort, saying such programs help strengthen cultural identity and community bonds. Schools and cultural groups are also supporting the campaign by including traditional music in extracurricular activities and public events.

Cultural experts believe that youth-led initiatives like this play a key role in safeguarding intangible heritage. If continued, the program could help ensure that Ramechhap’s rich musical traditions remain alive for future generations.
