Natya Chetana has been organising such a Peoples Theatre Festival with a Non-urban atmosphere, promoting indigenous elements of Indian theatre art to stand in front of the modern theatre practices of the world since 22 times by 2022 in different years. There used to be a theme proposed before to identify who can perform around that. Previously Peoples Theatre Festivals have focussed on theme like : UNITY, ENVIRONMENT, WOMEN , CHILDREN, COMMUNAL HARMONY , TRIBAL YOUTH, MASK,   etc. The point of attraction is that – the venue is Natyagram of Natya Chetana, a secured campus near Khurda Town, which is an important place of freedom fighting and Paika Revolution, counted as the first anti-British response of India and near Kaipadar where Hindu and Muslim pray together in one place symbolising the level of tolerance. This has been a base of encouraging justice to a sustainable life for future.
