We conducted a survey amongst various age groups within our school. There were two main purposes behind this; first we wanted to promote our project and second that we wanted to know the diverse opinions of different people on our chosen topic- Indian Classical Dances. The following is a list of the questions we put up on our survey and the image shown is of our survey form.
