JAMMU, Jan 20: ‘Children Winter Workshop-2019’ concluded here today with the staging of thought provoking Hindi play ‘Panchi Aise Aayenge’ written by Vivek Mridul and directed by Neeraj Kant.
Welcoming the gathering, Natrang Director, Balwant Thakur presented an-over view of Natrang’s initiative of introducing Theatre amongst children. He informed that theatre can magically change a child’s personality and empowers him/her to meet any challenge in life. The children play ‘Panchi Aise Aayenge’ in a very intelligent manner presented a highly theme of environment conservation.
The story revolves around a young boy ‘Monu’ who is fond of migratory birds. Once in dream he sees that migratory birds back in Siberia are refusing to come to India for the reason that they will hardly get appropriate space and environment with the growing deforestation and environmental degradation here.
Realizing this Monu pledges to start a movement to sensitize general public about this serious lapse of the society as majority of Indian cities are becoming gas chambers with urbanization and growing concrete Jungles.
With the help of fellow children he initiates a movement and finally succeeds in that and migratory birds also agree to come to India on witnessing the improvement in the environment.
The valedictory function marked the presentation of appreciation certificates to the participating Children by Sheetal Nanda, Secretary Rural Development who was the chief guest on the occasion.
