In a bid to engage children in constructive activities during the lockdown period a painting competition is being organised in the State by noted tribal expert and writer from Jharkhand Subhashish Chakraverty. Chakraverty said that at this time there is a need to maintain positive thinking among the children as the children will also only hear about the Corona disaster through their parents, neighbourhood and TV throughout the day and in this uncertainty, they are unknowingly getting involved. Children from class one to eight can send their paintings through April 20 through WahtsApp no. 8983699900. The paintings will be selected by noted painter Siraj Saxena. Three selected paintings will be felicitated and the winner will be presented with an artwork signed by Siraj Saxena, whose paintings, ceramics, wood, print art have been in the media for the past 22 years and he has held 26 solo and 125 art exhibitions abroad so far. His paintings and ceramics are installed in many important art museums of the world - National Gandhi Museum - Delhi, Ministry of External Affairs - India, All India Radio, Press Trust of India, Rothko Art Center - Latvia, England Art Center - Poland, Otto Neymar Hostin Museum - Germany etc.
