Abstract
The Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Mumbai, launched an inter-collegiate one-act drama competition in mid nineteen sixties. Drama Competition of the Maharashtra State, Marathi Sahitya Sangh, and Indian National Theatre also began round at the same time. These competitions encouraged the budding playwrights. The theatre audience showed a lot of interest in the festivals of plays organised by the sponsors of these competitions. Damu Kenkare, Vijaya Mehata, Kamalakar Sarang, Nandkumar Raote, Ratnakar Matkari, Arvind Deshpande, Sulbha Deshpande, Vijay Tendulkar, Baban Prabhu, Vasant Mane and others are some luminaries who were product of the experiment.
