The students and faculty discussed about the ideas for the street play a fortnight before the event. It was heartening to see the feelings that flowed amongst the students to the theme of the street play.

With Director’s permission and guidance, the Koragaon Park Police Station was approached for permission to hold a rally from the Institute to the Gadge Maharaj Vasti.

The students blew the whistles throughout the rally with the slogan “Jab Dekho Koi Atyachaar, Seeti Bajao Shor Machao”.

On reaching the Vasti, the students walked in the bylanes of the Vasti, attracting the residents’ attention and asking them to come and watch the street play.

The students then performed on the street which captured the attention of women and children alike.

The Police Representative, Constable Samarth Shide, helped in controlling the traffic so that our goal could be achieved.

The Rally returned to SVIMS with a feeling of contentment, having shared with women at the Vasti the need to be self-dependent for her children’s and her security. The message given to everyone was that silence gives wings to abusers. Therefore, to voice injustice is important.
