From the Desk of the Editor-in-Chief

We are happy to launch the next volume of Lokaratna in the beginning of the New Year!

Though the last two years have been difficult times for us, we worked consistently and diligently in the pursuit of knowledge and scholarship. We could organize a good number of webinars under the aegis of Folklore Foundation. The talks delivered by eminent scholars like Professor D.P. Pattanayak, Niladri Das, Indranil Acharya and others as part of the webinars, will be memorable events to cherish. We have been regular in bringing out the Lokaratna issues thanks to the dedicated team of editors and contributors. We have decided to make Lokaratna bilingual now. We also working towards making it an indexed journal for the benefit of our contributors. We thank you all for your scholarly contributions and look forward to your continuous support in the years to come. Wish you all a Happy and Peaceful New year!
