History is the sequence of progress in human civilization. The history of folk art has become increasingly important in recent historiographic practices .The tribal-based Bankura district is famous for its culture and especially for folk art. The district's folk arts are dominated by Baluchari, Conch, Dokra, and so on. But at present, the folk arts of the district are becoming extinct, and these industries are losing their antiquity day by day to the touch of modernity. In such a situation, most of the artists of industries are going to other professions due to a lack of money, and they are falling out of the mainstream of society. On the other hand, its effect was also visible in society. As a result, the social class based on folk art is moving towards extinction. It is clear from the above discussion that folk arts have tried to save the ancient traditions of Bankura district. In fact, folk art has greatly influenced the economy, society, and culture of Bankura district. Its clear effect can be seen in today's time. But nowadays, folk art is often unable to maintain its ancient traditions. In such a situation, governmental and non-governmental organisations should come forward to bring cultural traditions, and the government should fix the minimum price of the raw materials associated with these industries and make arrangements for special allowances for the artists.
