Through the different scenes they highlighted the importance of education.

In another scene an educated daughter saved her illiterate mother from losing her property by reading the papers for her on which she was about to put her thumb impression. This way with various video clippings the students highlighted the importance of literacy in our daily life. They prepared their own script, composed dialogues themselves, chose appropriate costumes and props, they also added animated backgrounds and joined the clippings of each character.
