On the occasion of Seva Parv 2025, Dehradun witnessed a unique confluence of colors, art, and culture. Under the aegis of the Lalit Kala Academi Regional Center, Garhi, New Delhi, in collaboration with the Indian Tribal Institute of Information Technology and Sanskriti School, Dehradun, a one-day painting workshop was organized. Nearly 300 participants, including professional artists, college, and school students, expressed their imagination and creativity through colors, presenting vibrant depictions of “Vikshit Bharat ”

The credit for this glorious achievement goes to Mr. Santosh Kumar, Head of the Department of Fine Arts, whose guidance inspired the students to reach new heights.
Chief Guest Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ remarked:
“Art is not just a medium of expression; it is the foundation of nation-building. The dream of a developed India will only be realized when our young generation enriches society and culture with creativity and values. From Uttarakhand, the land of divinity where nature and culture blend beautifully, this message must spread across the nation — that art and culture are our true heritage.
I especially congratulate the students of Ras Bihari Bose Subharti University, who have secured all the top three positions in this competition. They have proved that Subharti is not just an institution of education but also a torchbearer of creativity and nation-building.”
Guest of Honour Prof. Dr. Himanshu Aeran, Vice Chancellor, Ras Bihari Bose Subharti University, said:
“Subharti University is not merely an academic institution but also a hub of social and cultural awakening. When our students paint the vision of ‘Developed India’ through their colors, it is not just an artwork but a blueprint of the nation’s future.
Our commitment is that every talent nurtured at Subharti will make a meaningful contribution to India’s cultural and creative renaissance. This victory is a reflection of our students’ dedication and the university’s vision.”
The program became living testimony to the fact that art and culture form the foundation of nation-building. “Vikshit Bharat Ke Rang Kala Ke Sang ” was not merely an event but a celebration of the spirit where education, art, culture, and patriotism blended harmoniously.
This event not only provided a platform for artistic talent but also conveyed a powerful message:
“Art is the living embodiment of a developed India, and the youth are its driving force.
