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.

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

Saving trees by Chipko Andolan The Chipko movement, also known as the Chipko Andolan, was a renowned environmental movement in India that emerged in the 1970s. It was primarily focused on the conservation and protection of forests, including the conservation of trees. The movement employed non-violent methods, including hugging or embracing trees to prevent them from being cut down. The Chipko movement was born out of the recognition that deforestation had devastating consequences for local communities and the environment. It started in the state of Uttarakhand (formerly known as Uttaranchal) in the Himalayan region of northern India. Villagers, mainly women, realized the importance of forests for their livelihoods, as well as for maintaining the ecological balance of the region.
