There is need of exposure for traditional art forms of the State to further evolve and survive in this changing world, stated Prof H Tombi.

But in recent times Manipuri dance form has made some strides in exposing the dance form to other parts of the globe.

RK Nimai stated that culture evolves with time and all art forms have to adapt and overcome certain changes without losing its essence.

All over the country western art form has made an impact, to save traditional art forms artistes have to search for means and ways to thrive.

He added that the two day Kathak-Utsav is an opportunity for artistes of the State to understand other art forms.

"Art and artistes can survive and sustain the art form when the public extend their support," Nimai stated.
