Over 50 students from four SHEF institutions \u2014 Study Hall, Prerna Girls School, Vidyasthali Kanar Inter College, and Study Hall College \u2014 performed four Hindi plays that captivated the audience and inspired fresh thinking: Ek Kshhan Vida (Naresh Saxena), Rani Laxmi Bai (Dr. Vrindavan Lal Verma), Chote Muh Badi Baat (Jaivardhan), and Nadi Pyasi Thi (Dharmveer Bharti).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Launched in 2006, Yuva Manch is a platform dedicated to promoting theatre among young students. It has become an integral part of SHEF\u2019s efforts to nurture creativity and expression through the performing arts while raising awareness and encouraging critical thinking on long-standing social issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Addressing the full house at Sangeet Natak Academy, SHEF\u2019s Founder Dr Urvashi Sahni said, \u201cAt SHEF, drama is an integral part of our pedagogy because we believe children learn best when they are engaged emotionally, intellectually, and creatively. Through theatre, they don\u2019t just learn to act\u2014they learn to think, to feel, and to speak up. Yuva Manch is their space to tell the stories that matter to them. When children perform, they show us who they are and who they can become.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\"
