Summary:

So they decided to learn about Haryana’s folk dance and exhibit it. Aurangabad: Six female students of the Aurangabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) school in Naregaon brought laurels to the city by performing at the National Roleplay and Folk Dance Competition held in New Delhi recently. The group comprised of 9th and 8th graders Manasi Gaikwad, Shruti Khandala, Pooja Ghade, Shalini Khandala, Sneha Aarvade and Anjali Bhalekar. Most of their parents are daily wage earners and lack socio-economic development.Mapari said that the encouragement from municipal commissioner Nipun Vinayak had been significant in helping the school to reach the national level. When asked at the event about why the group chose to exhibit a Haryanvi folk dance instead of a Maharashtrian one, Shruti spontaneously replied that India is a country of different cultures that celebrates its unity in diversity..
