During the Corona pandemic period, in order to lift up the spirits and manage the frustration due to lockdown, Lokayan started an Acting Challenge Campaign in May 2020 where in enthusiasts were asked to submit monologue acting videos and they were published on the Lokayan YouTube channel to promote the artists. In June 2020, public was called upon to present and record folk arts and send the videos to Lokayan in order to publish on its YouTube channel.
The Lokayan Cultural, Social, Educational and Multipurpose Organisation has, until now, successfully organized various cultural programs. In July 2021, an online writing workshop on Loknatya – Vagnatya – Aakhyan (folk drama-vag-drama-legend story) writing was organized in cooperation with the West Zone Cultural Centre, Udaipur and Ministry of Culture, Govt of India. The tradition that was totally dormant in the past sixty years was revived again by the Lokayan.
