- Winners will be honored in Vishwarang 2023 event
Bhopal, 21 December, 2023: One of the most anticipated cultural and art festivals of India – the Tagore International Literature and Arts Festival, organised by the Rabindranath Tagore University, under the aegis of Vishwarang 2023 was back with its annual Tagore Children’s Painting Competition conducted in Scope Global Skills University.
The competition saw participation from almost 2000 students, primarily from Bhopal, Obedullaganj and Mandideep, displaying their artistic abilities on canvases. More than 50 government, private, and public schools were a part of the competition, which was divided into four categories: the first for students in classes 3 to 5, the second for students in classes 6 to 8, the third for teenagers in classes 9 and 10, and the fourth category for students in classes 11 and 12. With the aim of bringing out hidden talent, this initiative also provides a global platform to promote new and upcoming artists. As there was no set theme for the competition, the students were allowed to express themselves freely. Selected artists chosen from the competition will have the chance to participate in a unique art workshop led by national artists on the last day of Vishwarang 2023. The event was graced by Mr. Santosh Choubey, Director, Vishwarang 2023, Dr. Siddharth Chaturvedi, Chancellor, Scope Global Skills University and Co-Director, Vishwarang, Dr. Aditi Chaturvedi Vats, Chancellor, Rabindranath Tagore University and Co-Director, Vishwarang 2023, Prof. Ajay Bhushan, Vice Chancellor, Scope Global Skills University and Dr. Sitesh Kumar Sinha, Registrar, were especially seen encouraging the children.
Mr. Santosh Choubey, Director, Vishwarang 2023, share his insights on the competition and said, “Participation in such competitions leads to artistic and mental development in children. They should be encouraged to hone such talents and take part in as many co-curricular activities as possible. Even parents play a very important role here because it is their love and support that acts as the biggest catalyst in the young one’s success. It is very joyous to see the event turning out well with all these beautiful drawings coming to life.”
The campus had an artistic flair in the air as students from all around the region gave color to their imaginations. Archit Chaudhary of class 5 from Carmel Convent School Ratanpur made a piece on the Save Earth theme while Iyuti Jain from Carmel Convent School BHEL made one on goddess Sarawati. Ahana of class 4 from Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 3 drew on Save Bees Save World, Ayansh Kulshrestha of Class 4 from St. Mont Fort School made his art on Skill India, Shivika of class 5 from Maharshi Vidya Mandir Ratanpur did Mandala Art while Naisa Yadav of class 6 from Carmel Convent School Ratanpur drew the Chandrayaan.
