There’s a deep link between an individual’s behaviour and health. Unhealthy behaviours become habits and can cause people to gain weight, fall into trap of lifestyle related issues and ailments or even shorten their lifespan.

Going through ups and down of life, we often struggle with loss or gain in appetite, problems with sleep, anxiety and stress. Drama or theatre induces self-reflection by engaging with stories performed. It’s thought provoking and also gives release to emotions.

Rangmanch se healthy is not only a source of entertainment it also gives us a new perspective of observing behaviours as participants and audience while bringing about a change.

Rangmanch se Healthy is a team effort works around solutions for health issues/ behaviours using creativity and spontaneity, which if ignored promote lifestyle diseases. We create beautiful stories and operate on minimum budget with the vision to give back to society and spread message of health on vast scale.
