ABOUT THE ECO-THEATRE 

To make it more competitive on the real aspects like messaging, dialogues, concept, we have limited the Eco- Theatre to be in the form of Nukkad Natak only on the theme of ‘Planet vs. Plastics.‘

This calls on raising awareness and educating the audience (particularly students of Classes 6 to 8), about the detrimental effects of plastic pollution on the environment. Through engaging performances, the Eco-Theatre should aim to inspire action and promote sustainable practices, encouraging individuals to minimize plastic usage and adopt eco-friendly alternatives. By catalyzing positive change and empowering participants to become advocates for environmental conservation, the Eco-Theatre serves as a powerful tool for fostering a sense of responsibility towards the planet and inspiring collective action towards a greener, healthier future.
