Some glimpses of the Street Play

On 13th February, 2017, on the eve of National Women’s day the students exhibited a drama

titled ‘Bekhwaff’. The drama was based on the topic of women empowerment. It showcased

the various stages in the life of women and the issues and problems that she encounters. The

title is suggestive of the fact that the drama exhibited the fearless nature of women today. It was

a drama showcased exclusively by our girl students. The drama was written and directed by the

students. Our students really enjoyed the entire process and the drama was a great success.
