Transparency International India, Regional Chapter, Ranchi organised 10 Street Plays (Nukkad Naatak) in four districts of Jharkhand to make local people aware of Right to Information act under one of its projects ‘PAHAL – Shaasan Sudhar Ki Ore’. The plays were performed by a team of ten members from ‘Yuva Jagriti Sanskriti Kala Sangam’ in Koderma, Chatra, Ranchi and Khunti districts of Jharkhand.
The scripts of the plays were based on day-to-day problems faced by people and how they can be solved just with an RTI application in concerned department. In each play, 7 problems like pension, roads, electricity, etc were taken up and it was demonstrated that how people themselves can solve them with the help of RTI applications. A booklet having information about RTI and sample formats was distributed for future reference. TII Ranchi ALAC helpline Number was also given in this booklet so that people can contact TII for further queries or if they find any difficulty in filing RTI. The enthusiasm among the people was scintillating during the plays and there was a good participation.
The people were explained how they can seek the information from the government offices over every single rupee spent on govt projects just by filing an RTI Application. The script was written in local dialects in order to make the local rural masses understand about RTI better. The play attracted hoards of masses, which were very happy to know that they have such an important right and they did not know about it earlier.
The partner organisation, Yuva Jagriti Sanskriti Kala Sangam is a registered organisation, working to promote Indian culture and values through Nukkad Naatak (street plays). Recently they have done several good streets plays on Soochna ka Adhikar in Jharkhand, which inspired the local TII team to use this as tool to educate the rural masses in our project areas.
The team of ten members, Fabiyana Hemrom (Team Leader), Sita Mundu, Dashmi, Sanjay Kumar Sharma, Rajendra Kumar Mehato, Rajkumar Mehato, Ravindra Nayak, Harilal Mehato, Sunil Mundu and Asisan Topo performed these plays in a most natural manner.
