- Recently I went to a village called Keerapalayam. In that Panchayat at Cuddalore District of Tamil Nadu I found men and women using music, play and dance to promote hygienic needs like keeping the houses and surroundings clean. It was captivating. Similarly, we should promote our developmental programmes like PURA (Providing Urban facilities at Rural Areas) and other activities through poems, plays, dances, dramas etc. For example, Poet Mahakavi Subramania Bharathiyar wrote in 1910 a poem for dance called meaning: Let us sing and dance and rejoice That we have achieved freedom from foreign yoke He wrote this much before we achieved freedom in 1947. This song became very popular. Everywhere it used to be sung and inspire the masses to work for our freedom during our freedom struggle. Similarly, our development oriented song and dramas will help us in our mission of Vision 2020 and also inspire various strata of our society to work for it.
