Birla Vidya Niketan holds annual show
Former PM I.K. Gujral inaugurated the annual cultural function of Birla Vidya Niketan at Siri Fort Auditorium on Saturday. More than 500 students took part in the programme in which four plays were staged, including Firebird, based on a Russian folk tale and Rang aur Nritya ki Jhankar, tracing the journey of music and dance from primeval times to Tansen and Baiju Bawara. The children also put an English play Divine Justice, which was a fusion of sound and movement inspired by Tolstoy8217;s works, and that of Pancha Tantra.
