The play was performed in the jam packed college auditorium in which all the faculty members and the students of KMV were present. The plot of the play revolves around a poor farmer and his wife who is in a desperate need of a blanket in order to survive the chill of the winter. During the play, artists very perfectly depicted the pathetic conditions of the farmers and portrayed that how the farmers in the villages are exploited by the landlords.

She also adumbrated that the play also gives a positive message that escaping from the problem is not the solution but the real solution lies in facing the challenges of life and trying to overcome those challenges with a strong heart.
