BITA Cultural and Communication Trust (BCCT): An Amalgamation Unit of Culture and Development

BITA Culture and Communication Trust (BCCT) is planned to be developed as a learning space for different stakeholder groups. It is situated in an eco-friendly environment, around 15 km away from Chattogram City, at Meheranti village
of Kusumpura union of Patiya upazila in Chattogram district. The core motivation for setting up this center in the tranquil embrace of nature, far from the urban cacophony, was to cultivate cultural awareness among the rural
communities and enhance communal harmony. The intervention of BITA has brought about notable improvements, such as creating job opportunities for women and ensuring children attend school. Given that our cultural activities are
predominantly focused on urban areas, the necessity of this center is clear in creating a synergy between urban and rural environments. This center will host residency workshops for theatre, puppet laboratories, and programs to
instill cultural values in the upcoming generations.

BITA Culture and Communication Trust (BCCT) is the distinct entity of BITA that offer the national and international collaboration equipped with training, research, infrastructures and modern amenities. Current and progressing
operational sectors are:

• Issue based training
• Infrastructure with adequate facilities
• Certificate and diploma courses on culture, rights and development
• TFD Resource centre
• Affiliation as an institute with national and international recognized institutes
• International residency house
• Folk musical instrument preservation & exhibition center
• Library and study room

Recently established Shyam-Shefali open stage and International Hall adds new dimensions in BCCT.

Children space:Our current education system for children is rooted in a colonial framework, making it one-sided. This space seeks to nurture an inclusive and interactive learning environment for children, where they
are free from dominance and can engage in a joyful learning process. Every teacher is a performer in any means. It will serve as a blueprint for educators, advocating for every school to have an open space where teachers interact
with students in dynamic and engaging ways. And more importantly where there will be a synergy of culture with education.

Widening Horizon of Cultural Communication

BITA is synonymous with cultural promotion, epitomized by the installation of the ‘Shyam-Shefali Mucktomancha’ at BCCT. This stage commemorates Shyam Sundar Baisnab and Shefali Ghosh, revered folk artists
of Chattogram, whose legacy continues to inspire the masses. The Shyam-Shefali stage, complete with a green room and other amenities, offers an ideal setting for cultural events. Nestled in a serene natural environment, it provides
a delightful venue for programs and workshops alike.

Agricultural Farming

BITA has taken new intervention on sustainable manner. In the intervention dimension, BITA started BCCT-based agro-based projects like agriculture production and fisheries. Various types of vegetable cultivation and fruit
cultivation and selling in the local market are among the steps. Spinach like Amaranth, Jute creeper, Gourd spinach, Radish spinach and other seasonal spinach and also vegetables like Cauliflower, Gourd, Radish, Bean, Cowpea,
Pumpkin, Brinjal etc, and other seasonal vegetables are cultivated. On the other hand, chilies, papaya, lemons, and bananas have been cultivated for a long time. For this, BITA took advice from the Upazila Agriculture Officer and
Sub-Assistant Agriculture Officer.

Fish Farming

Fish farming is another step in the sustainable manner of BITA based on BCCT. It is the commercial breeding of fish in a natural environment. It is extending cultivation and harvesting. We establish natural fish enclosures, ponds,
and lakes to provide sufficient feeding, fresh water, oxygen, and protection from natural calamities and threats. Local fish are cultivated in 1 pond, 1 lake and 2 enclosures. Silver carp, Nile tilapia, Katla, and Rui are grown
here. Local small fish like Mala, Shrimp and assorted small fish are available here. Fish are sold in both wholesale and retail systems.
