Sahakaar - Ideal of Co-operation :

The growing concern about girl-child in view of innumerable honor-killing, child marriages and general abuse need to be highlighted through the artistic medium of dance and music. The program will present the girl's view point in a poignant poem by the eminent poet Prasoon Joshi. The indiscriminate felling of trees is bringing us closer to man-made ecological disaster. 

Hence it is important to educate not only the adults but children as well to become aware about conservation and respect for nature. 'Rimjhim sa Sapna' will depict children Dr. Sonal Mansingh strongly believes, “A dancer is not just a dancer. She is part of this environment. Dance can be the perfect medium through which viewpoint of those who often not get a platform to speak can be presented effectively the resolve to provide the facilities and platforms which were available to me but elude these children in whom I perceive the same fire and passion to contribute their talents to society.”
