As a passionate advocate for environmental conservation, I eagerly volunteered to participate in a Nukkad Natak (street play) aimed at raising awareness about saving trees. Little did I know that this experience would become a transformative journey, both personally and socially. We began brainstorming ideas to create an impactful script. We were running against the clock. Our team had just 3 days to prepare and present the Nukkad Natak. The script was written and then we started practicing. Rehearsals soon became an integral part of our daily routine. The lake side in our university transformed into our makeshift stage, and the atmosphere buzzed with excitement. We practiced till our clothes got drenched in sweat. Each member of our team had a unique role to play, and we embraced the opportunity to showcase our talents. Some of us took on the roles of trees, depicting their beauty, strength, and significance in the ecosystem. Others portrayed characters representing the destructive fo

In the vast urban landscapes and bustling highways, countless street dogs and cattle roam the streets in search of food and shelter. These innocent creatures often face numerous risks, including accidents, mistreatment, and inadequate healthcare. To address these challenges and ensure their safety, providing collars to street dogs and cattle on highways can be a simple yet impactful solution. By embracing this compassionate initiative, we can make a significant difference in the lives of these voiceless beings, promoting their welfare and coexistence with humans. Amity University, Jaipur, is situated on NH 11 C. There are few small villages near the university. The villagers own many cattle herds. When they unleash them to roam around, these innocent animals come on road, in night time, the drivers are unable to see them and any times accidents cause deaths of these creatures.  To safeguard these animals from such mishappenings, students of BJMC, 2nd semester from Amity School of Commu

NEED TO SAVE OUR ENVIRONMENT  Environmental protection generally refers to the preservation of trees and greenery, but in a broader sense it includes protection of trees, plants, animals, birds and the entire planet. In fact, there is a unique relationship between environment and life. Environmental protection is critical to the survival and the future of mankind . Nukkad natak is a form of theatrical performance and presentation in outdoor public spaces without a specific paying audience. These spaces can be anywhere, including shopping centres, car parks, recreational reserves, college or university campus and street corners. They are especially seen in outdoor spaces where there are large numbers of people. The actors who perform street theatre range from buskers to organised theatre companies or groups that want to experiment with performance spaces, or to promote their mainstream work. It was a source of providing information to people when there were no sources of providing inf

The Khejri tree holds a special place in their lives, and cutting down or lopping its branches is taboo. This small evergreen tree has been hailed as the lifeline of the Thar desert. It is a source of shade; its leaves provide fodder to camels, goats, cattle and other animals; its pods are edible and the wood is used as fuel; its roots fix atmospheric nitrogen, making the soil fertile. The khejri is, therefore, invaluable to desert economy and ecology. Revered as shami since Vedic period, the tree features prominently in both the Ramayana and Mahabharata.

Trees – Saviour of Earth The Chipko movement was a significant environmental movement that started in the early 1970s in India. The movement was focused on protecting the natural resources of Uttarakhand, which were being threatened by deforestation, mining, and other harmful practices. One of the most significant aspects of the Chipko movement was the use of street plays, or nukkad nataks, to spread awareness and mobilize people. Street plays were an effective tool in the Chipko movement because they allowed activists to reach out to a large number of people in a creative and engaging way. The plays were performed in public places such as markets, bus stands, and village squares, where they could be seen by a wide audience. The plays were usually short, dramatic performances that incorporated traditional folk culture, music, and dance, making them both entertaining and informative. A similar street play/nukkad natak was organized by Amity University Rajasthan at Kant villa
