Punjab State Council for Science and Technology, Sector – 26, Chandigarh has sanctioned funds to Punjabi University Environment Society (PUES) to the tune of Rs. 2,00,000/- to organize Nukkad Nataks on the various topics under mission LiFE.
The objective of Nukkad Nataks is to generate awareness under 7 themes of Mission LiFE i.e. Save Energy, Save Water, Say No to Single Use Plastics, Reduce E-Waste, Adopt Sustainable Food Systems, Reduce Waste and Adopt Healthy Lifestyle among the students of University, Colleges, schools and village folks.
Total 13 Nukkad Nataks will be played three in each district i.e. Sangrur, Barnala, Mansa and Bathinda and one will be played in Punjabi University Campus, Patiala.
Dr. Onkar Singh Brraich, General Secretary, PUES has explained that environmental awareness programmes are being organized at various platforms but they are unable to create any impact on students and village folks, but, Nukkad Natak is a type of street play that is proudly associated with our magnificent cultural history and it is one of the oldest form of storytelling and was used in direct communication and connecting with the general public on important issues.
Further, anyone can watch nukkad nataks free of cost in open places and these are mainly designed for common people. Prof. Ajita, President PUES said that environment is degraded at a very fast pace, now it is a high time to generate awareness about burning issues of the environment amongst the general masses through Nukkad Nataks.
Punjabi University Environment Society got funds for Nukkad Nataks. Prof. Jaswinder Singh Brar, Director Planning and Monitoring, Punjabi University, Patiala applauded the kind gesture of PSCST for the sanctioning of funds for this noble cause and appreciated the efforts made by Dr. Onkar Singh Brraich.
