Street plays are working in the direction of educating the general public on subjects like cleanliness and hygiene, said Prof Sarit Kumar Chaudhuri. Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya in its ongoing 'Swachh Bharat Fortnight' organised a street play at Veethi Sankul premises on Friday.
In the effective leadership of Sahil Khan, members of Kafila Theatrical Group convoyed the message of the play effectively. On this occasion 100 farmers from Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh and students of People's College were present. The message was that everyone should adopt cleanliness, beginning the changes from their homes.
The young artists used poetry and conversation in the play and the chorus changed with the change in scene which gained attention of the people present in museum premises. The incorporation of folk art in the play was amazing. Throughout the play they kept revolving around the key issue of urging audience to adopt sanitation in day to day life.
The Sangrahalaya is observing ‘Official language fortnight’ from 14th-30th September, 2016 in which various competitions and programmes are being organized. To promote Hindi amongst employees Hindi Crossword puzzle competition was organized.
Crossword Puzzle was organized by Rachna Shrivastava and Kiran Bala Sharma, the organizing duo said, “A hindi crossword is a word puzzle that normally takes the form of a square or a rectangular grid of white and black shaded squares. The goal is to fill the white squares with letters, forming words or phrases, by solving clues which lead to the answers. In languages that are written left-to-right, the answer words and phrases are placed in the grid from left to right and from top to bottom.”
More than 19 officials of the museum participated in the event and they were given 30 minutes to solve the Hindi Crossword.
