IIFL Foundation

With our initiative - 𝗔𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿 𝗝𝘆𝗼𝘁𝗶, IIFL Foundation took an innovative approach to open a dialogue on importance of 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗚𝗶𝗿𝗹𝘀 by adopting regional Folk Art Form of 𝗚𝗮𝘃𝗿𝗶.

An interactive Art form composed with Song, Dance & Drama., 𝗚𝗮𝘃𝗿𝗶 has been an essential part of local tradition (𝙀𝙨𝙥. 𝘽𝙝𝙞𝙡 𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙚𝙨 - 𝙍𝙖𝙟𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣) since many generations and proves to be a very effective medium of communication at community level, to engage with all age groups, right from a toddler to a super senior.

Each performance uses mythological stories, blended with contemporary situations to promote social values and address community concerns.

We used the medium to promote awareness on Education, Eliminate discrimination, steps for improved health & hygiene, consequences of early marriage (Child-marriage) and dropping out of schools.
