Preceded by a talk by an expert

Why Can’t Iis an attempt to create awareness and motivate people at the grass root level to give a serious thought to the importance to the education of young girls in India. The film, keeping in view the ethos of the Indian society, endorses the sentiments of Gandhi; Nanak and Vivekananda – i.e. service to humanity without attaching a commercial value to it. It pays tribute to those real heroes, girls and women, who have made a difference by questioning the norms of the society and doing things that changed not only their own lives for the better but also had a positive impact on precious lives around them.

DrLavlinThadani is a passionate filmmaker, an actor and a writer-cum-poet. He has successfully been heading a film company and has made a number of remarkable films, some of which were screened at prestigious international film festivals.
