‘If we are to achieve all of the Sustainable Development Goals, what better than Art?’
Human beings face various challenges, such as climate change, respect for human rights, hunger, water scarcity, etc. These challenges can only be solved from a global perspective and promoting sustainable development through various initiatives. In order to promote sustainable development and mobilise students to pursue these goals, Smt. Krishna Pathak Memorial Eighteenth Inter-School Painting and Craft Competition was organized in memory of our late founder Smt. Krishna Pathak on Wednesday, 30th November 2022.
Around 3540 students including underprivileged children and children with special needs from 103 schools, NGOs and Special Schools across North Delhi & NCR participated in the event with great enthusiasm and spirit. The competition commenced with a musical background followed by Lamp Lightning Ceremony by our Chief Guests Mr S K Ray (Honorary Secretary of ICPE, Mumbai) , Mr Sudheer Khurana (Manager System of ICPE, Mumbai) & Dr Amit Kumar Singh Manager at R & D UFLEX Ltd. along with our revered Director Sir Shri Somesh Rishi Pathak and esteemed Principal Ma’am Ms Rooma Pathak. The welcome song by the choir group spread the whole arena with optimism and divinity. The speech by the Chief Guests brought new ideas on how plastics can be recycled, reduced and reused.
There were different events like Painting, Graffiti, Craft, Slogan Writing, Rangoli, Collage & Mask Making etc. All the events were based on the 17 different themes of SDGs laid by the United Nations. The variety of ideas, thoughts and creativity produced by the students represented the transition from today's society to a more environmentally friendly one. With the world facing a potential climate crisis - water shortages, drought, hunger, extreme weather - sustainable development goals depicted through art work ensured a commitment and balance between economic growth, preservation of the environment and social well-being.
Revered Director Sir Shri Somesh Rishi Pathak and esteemed Principal Ma’am Ms. Rooma Pathak expressed gratitude to the Chief Guests with a token of appreciation and commended the participants for their brilliant concepts and ideas that would contribute to the development of a sustainable way of life on earth and make life worthwhile.
