Abhiyan Theatre Group, Gorakhpur was established in April 2002 which is registered on 11-4-2008. It is a popular and active theater group in India. When it was established , not only in Gorakhpur but in the entire Purvanchal, the condition of theater was very pathetic. Migration of color workers to film and television, indifference of the audience and economic problems were obstacles in the development of theatre. In these adverse circumstances, Abhiyan Theater Group tried to overcome all these three obstacles simultaneously. Between 2008 and 2023, the organization has organized productions oriented theatre workshop of 45 days.
As a result, the availability of trained artist personnel increased. The continuous staging of good plays increased the audience and to some extent the economic problems were also removed. Mr. Narayan Pandey, founder of Abhiyan Group Theatre as completed his M.A. in Economics and, B.Ed. Is continuously active in theatre in 1991. Since 2016, Abhiyan Theater Group is recognised by Ministry of Culture, Government of India, 'Rangmandal Unit'.
