On the direction of the School Principal, Sanjeev Kumar Vaid, the play resonated strongly with the audience, leaving a lasting impact. The students also attended and contributed to the event’s overall success.

Following the performance, participants took a voter pledge, reaffirming their commitment to encouraging maximum voter turnout and reinforcing the democratic process.

The event was organized by the team from the BDO Office Kathua under the supervision of Block Development Officer, Kathua Sakriti Koul held in presence of AC SVEEP Nodal Officer 67-Kathua (SC) Jatinder Sethi.
