The power of a woman should never be underestimated, when she rises in power she brings positive changes. This was seen in the play ‘Kunti Ka Paritap.’ The play was staged at Madhya Pradesh State Tribal Museum on Friday marking the second day of 5th Foundation Anniversary.

'Kunti ki Paritap', written by Dr. Ram Kumar Verma, Kunti is the lady who knows the meaning of service in the form of sacrifice and remains consumed in her service. For ages, every era has been the custodian of the entire limit of women.
