Addressing the students, he said rising violent incidents in different

parts of the country and depiction of violence in the name of

entertainment created confusion among students about the values taught

at school and home and what they are exposed to in society.Later, the

students presented a dance ballet 'Krishna Leela' and other cultural

programmes. There were skits with students lamenting about child

labour, bomb blasts killing of innocent people, foundation courses

replacing children's play time and felling of trees that would

ultimately drive away birds and bees from the surroundings.

 

The audience went home not only entertained but also with a lot to think about.
