Role of Social Worker

ConclusionA good percentage of our population now watches Indian drama serials. Young and the old even the children are also interested to watch it. The family is hardly found where these serials are not viewed regularly. These viewers are blindly following the Indian culture what are showed in these serials. It is destroying our culture, values, beliefs and traditions. So we all have to come forward for maintaining the practice of our own culture and promote Bangladeshi drama, educational serials or magazine program.
