Now several Thang-Ta Academies/Institutions had come into existence for the promotion and preservation of this precious art form. But at the same time, we as Thang-Ta lovers alone could not fulfil the preservation and promotion of this art form without the kind support of the Government. Now, therefore, humbly appeal to the state government to extend support and give us a helping hand in keeping our heritage intact".
