Bratachari got their initial success when it was included into school curriculum,proportionately it was being taught maintaining balance with physical exercise. Students took it as a space for fun and joyful learning after a hectic schedule with the text books.
Not only in Elementary level and Secondary level West Bengal Board of Primary Education and other teachers' training authorities such as NCTE and NCERT considered Bratachari as a tool of Physiacal Education, for its delightful features. Trainee teachers are being taught Bratachari. MHRD, Government of India considered 'Purnanga Bratachari Course graduate candidates are equivalent with B.P.Ed
In the era of Neo- Liberalism and Post-Modern society Bratachari would come out as a sharp weapon to sustain our cultural heritage. The mashup culture with the western actually slows down our ethnic folk culture, we very much friendly with blues songs but thousands of Indian origin songs are unknown to us. In these sort of turmoil situation of pluralistic culture it is a pivotal question to keep sustain our own culture pure. Bratachari Movement already reached and ensured this fact before this question comes.
In the last paragraph we may say GuruSaday Dutt just create a fusion by incorporating the different folk art form. But the essence laid behind its success in Mass support specifically form the youth section of the society.
