We achieved our independence in 1971. In independent Bangladesh earned at the cost of the ultimate sacrifices of millions, the anguish of populace has been abolished as well as the growth of indigenous culture has been made free from any restraints. It is true that we can see remnants of our past in our culture, but this is not the reflection. The culture has been enriched by the minds fed by the ongoing social life and flow of historical events. It is a matter of sorrow that even though we have many forms of traditional dances and songs, too little attention is given to the extensive study, research and fundamental analysis of them. An awakening our culture may be possible through organized activities. There is little or no initiative or cooperation from the non-government agencies regarding preserving of the artists of traditional songs and dances. As a result, there artists are living way below the poverty line, causing slow diminishing of our culture and heritage. Besides, due to insufficient funds, the street children and the under privileged children are always deprived of receiving education on cultural sectors. Not only that, we need to create an environment that eradicates and resists all the factors that create a threat to our culture and hinder our cultural activities. For example- natural disasters and calamities and assisting people in securing their basic rights. Keeping these in mind, this organization was formed in Merul Badda, Dhaka in 2010. Under the leadership of Tushar Chakraborti, ``Trust and Faith Ministryâ started its journey on July, 2010. In the September of the same year, preparations were taken to start operation in grassroots level. The process of enlisting cultural volunteers also started. Finally, on the 16th December, 2010, the organization surfaced through cultural programs of the Victory Day held at Merul Badda. This event is a milestone in for the organization and in development of the organization. In a developing country like ours, everything is imposed. Development is not possible with an imposed culture. Individuality is needed for the development. As a result, even after forty years of independence, we could not achieve anything. Farmers-workers and other poor people, who took up arms in the call of freedom, fought for the land and freed her, and then they went back to work and waited for the country to provide for them, to ensure their basic rights. But the nation leaders were unable to fulfill their hopes. To help the nation in those tasks, the organization wants to help the government by providing distinctive good practices. The mentioned task is very hard and sacrificial. For the development of a nation, any one of the generations must make sacrifices. Trust and Faith initiates the process of creation of those noble persons. Creating a practice to solve the problems of the county, development of leadership definitively awakens the people, and works towards solving the problems through the people. To materialize the visions of Trust and Faith, an organization with helpful, efficient, adept, and dynamic leadership is needed. The only possible way of creating such organization is through continuous effort towards a specific goal. To assist those efforts, the undertaking of creating a far sighted constitution has been carried out, which will guide Trust and Faith in its journey forward. Trust and Faith is determined to improve and expand the artists of the country.
