SOME RECENT EVENTS
PUPPET SHOW: Puppets have been a versatile means of artistic expression, communication and instruction for 2,000 years. Working the edge between entertainment and education, puppets can both teach and persuade. Keeping in view of this we have organized puppet shows in our targeted area of intervention based on the themes like child protection, water and sanitation, Education, Health and hygiene and domestic violence issues. This programme was highly acknowledged and appreciated by the community we work for.

NUKKAD NATAK (STREET PLAY): We believe in presenting the issues through this kind of means which has more meaningful in creating awareness in the society. Street Plays play very important role in touching the hearts and mind of people. So we use to organize street plays on various themes like child marriage, trafficking, migration, gender discrimination and etc. Recently we have organized two street plays in one of our target locations in Saharsa district.

MEETING WITH ADOLESCENT GIRLS: Adolescent girls are one of our target group whom we want to encourage them in participating in our activities. The trained female staff members organize meetings of adolescent girls in our target location where they are discussed with their problems and are encouraged to participate in the programmes we organize for girls. A one day orientation workshop on “Domestic Violence amongst Women” was organized by Abhinav Nirman where large no of girls had participated to learn and know the rights of women. Prominent specialized trainers from various organisations have facilitated this workshop.

WORKING WITH CHILDREN IN NEED OF CARE AND PROTECTION: Working with women and children issues in Saharsa, Supaul  and Araria district of Bihar we have observed that a majority of children leaves their home due to various reasons from the Koshi region and they either takes Katihar or Samastipur rail route for reaching their destinations. Many of these children also work at Railway Platform where they fall easy prey of sexual/physical and commercial expolitaions.  Keeping these in minds Abhinav Nirman with its own resources have initiated efforts for working with Platform children to prevent them from significant harm. We have been contacting children at Samastipur Junction and provide support either in restoration and referring them to Child Welfare Committee.
