JAMMU, Feb 1: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged Hindi play ‘Naya Daur’ written and directed by Neeraj Kant.
The play opened with narrators who set the tone for India’s digital revolution under the vision ‘Digital India’.
The first episode shows a young man distressed after his father’s death, fearing loss of his land as relatives and neighbours made false claims. The narrator introduced him to ‘Aapki Zameen Aapki Nigraani’, which secures land records online. Relieved, he pledged to share this benefit with others.
Next, two youngsters on a bike were stopped by cops. They displayed DigiLocker app, showing RC, insurance, pollution certificate and driving licence in seconds. Impressed, the cops let them go.
The third story unfolded when a wife complained that LPG cylinder had finished. Her husband worried aloud, but the narrator assured him that booking a cylinder now took just one click. Overjoyed, he broke into slogans praising Digital India.
The final scene was emotional. An old man longed to withdraw his pension but his busy son refused help. A passerby recalled the misery of long queues and endless waiting at banks. Then, the old man’s grandson appeared, assuring him that pensions, transfers, medicines and even groceries could be accessed online with one click to open the entire world.
The play ended with a powerful message that Digital India is a transformative movement that simplified lives.
Artists who performed in the play were Pawan Verma, Kartik Kumar, Kushal Bhat, Aadesh Dhar and Aryan Sharma. The show was presented by Mihir Gujral.
