Nukkad Natak – पढ़ाई है असली कमाई
The Nukkad Natak was performed in village communities of Varanasi to highlight the right of every child to education and the urgent need to end child labour. The play used simple dialogues, humor, and emotional storytelling to show the difference between a child’s life in school and a child trapped in labour. Performed in open village squares, the event ensured participation from children, parents, and community elders. The storyline encouraged families to reflect on their choices and recognize that education is not an expense, but an investment in a brighter future. With active support from BHU interns, the play became a powerful tool of awareness and community engagement
