Urvashi Dance, Music, Art and Cultural Society has always been at the forefront in taking initiatives that directly reach out to the lesser-privileged citizens of this great country. In a world where we are faced with increasing social concerns that demand immediate attention, it is imperative to reach out to the society at large and create awareness about these issues that have unfortunately become a part of our daily lives. Earth, the superior mother of all beings occupying it, is also under threat from our irresponsible actions. The environmental crisis can be directly compared to the plight of women today. Urvashi aims to draw parallels between the two and express the pain, anguish, hope and awareness through the medium of dance.
