Jharokha - The Dramatics Society of Shyam Lal College has splendidly been spreading its magic and art since 2010. A society formed purely with talented and motivated budding artists who have been honing their skills over the years and continue to do so. Jharokha, a society that focuses on stage plays and theatre has, with the help of each of its members, produced great plays over the years and has always intended to get better each time. The society takes great pleasure in speaking of how, despite all the obstacles, stands by its commitments. Even in this difficult time, Jharokha managed to conduct enriching sessions for the members of our society. A lot of hard work was put in through screens and on stage to make things happen. The society believes in carrying on the legacy of theatre and its art forms to build an environment where the stage is not just a source of entertainment but a performance that makes a deep impact on its audience. It is a platform for students of our college to explore creativity within themselves and enhance their skills in the field of acting, writing, stage management, direction, etc. The society has worked hard together to help its members grow and raise the bar every time.
