Every culture has its own distinctive features that make it differently appealing to other communities. Nakshi Kantha is one of such cultural traits which we pride on. Nakshi Kantha is a popular traditional craft of Bangladsh It is a kind of embroidered quilt. The name was taken from the Bengali word, Naksha' which means artistic pattern. The art has been practiced in rural Bengal for centuries. Traditional kanthas are made for family use. To make nakshi kantha old or new cloth and coloured tl reads are used. First the cloth is folded, then the folds are joined together using stich along the border line. On it varieties of patterns and figures are sewn using treads of various colours. These patterns and figures include geometrical patterns, pictures of flowers, leaves, birds, animals, men and women, instruments of daily use etc. Nakshi kanthas tell us a lot about the culture and daily life of the rural people.

(e) What measures should be taken to make the tree plantation programme successful? Tree plantation means planting more trees here and there for our need. Trees are the greatest gift of nature.

Trees provide us with fragrant and beautiful flowers, delicious and nutritious food, cool shade etc. Trees make the land fertile, prevent land erosion, protect cyclone, supply us oxygen, consume carbon-dioxide. Trees cause rain, provide shelter for birds and ferocious animals, prevent air pollution etc. We take shelter on cradles just after our birth and dead body is carried with a wooden carrier to the graveyard. Wood is essential to make our houses, boats, launches, partex, newsprint, pencil, railway slippers, hardbcard, furniture and so on. We burn wood to make fire. We can earn foreign exchange by exporting wood. Without any forest the land will get no rainfall, consequently it will turn into desert. Environment will become poisonous and life will become challenging. Rainlessness will cause a bad harvest or no harvest. Without trees homes look barren, poor and naked.
