          Ghunghyat : A Garhwali Stage Play for spreading HIV Awareness

              Garhwali poet Gajendra Nautiyal is social activist and dramatist too. Nautiyal wrote and staged a very sensitive play in 1997 that focuses on HIV awareness. The play is inspirational and talks about the reasons behind HIV disease. The play also talks about necessary treatments after HIV.
हाँ नियम संयम मा पति अर पत्नी व्रता धर्म धारण कर्यां। डाक्टरोंम इंजेक्सन उबाळि  लगायां। .....ढंग सेखून चढ़ायाँ  ......खबरदार खबरदार   
 The dialogues are very simple meant for rural areas and easily digestible.
Gajendra is successful in creating a Garhwali drama that is helpful in creating HIV awareness.
