Anil, fantastic coverage! This is one of the most important issues in social life! Keep it up!! Eventually more people will be aware of such programmes and more people will attend such awareness programmes. You have done your contribution to the social cause and sure will keep doing so!! | |

What is the use of such programs if they are attended by only 50 odd people ? Also by looking into the pictures published, it is very clear that the majority of people attended are well educated people then what result these street plays will have. There is no doubt such street plays are very informative effective, but there need to be enough people to witness such acts. The local authorities should have made enough publicity so that much more people could have attended and the real results could have been achieved. What say local authorities ?? |
