I love to paint. Here there are no restrictions on us. We can paint what we feel like. I have made a scenery of mountains and water which is made with bits of paper. Finally it has come out very well.

The day my name was announced for having won the consolation prize at Kalavedh Art Competition held at Sir J. J. School of Arts is still etched in my mind. The topic Climate Change really stirred me. I had used Van Gogh’s starry night technique to depict the climate changes that we see around us. I tried to illustrate the extreme temperatures of hot and cold that we are all experiencing across the world on account of global warming. The consolation prize I received gave me immense pleasure as my artwork was being recognized and appreciated. I would like to thank my dearest art teachers for giving me this opportunity to express my creativity and imagination!

We are extremely grateful to Ms Dilbur Parakh, Head Aseema for her continuous and dedicated support. Aseema (aseema.org) has been training our NREP and AGIC teachers since the last 6 years. And this is one of the primary reasons for our progress in the facilitation of education in the right direction. The trainers visit us every 3 months and review our work as well as take us further with training sessions and observations.
