Art competition results for Oct to Dec 2018

Happy to announce competition results for Khula Aasmaan national art contest for October to December 2018 was truly phenomenal. See the list of medal winners and prizes.

We had a flood of entries from all over the country for this national painting contest. We were overwhelmed with the response. This resulted in a delay in processing the entries at our end. Each Khula Aasmaan national art contest goes through two rounds of judging before the contest results are declared.

Why the results of the quarter of Oct to Dec 2018 are special ?

For the first time, tribal (adiwasi) children have made a big entry to the final list of medals and honourable mentions in the art competition results declared today. This is a moment of pride for Khula Aasmaan. We started working with tribal children since October 2018. The hard work by Khula Aasmaan team and of course the raw talent of the tribal children has paid rich dividends. Furthermore, we will continue to work actively with tribal children as well as other marginalised children. I am sure that these children, their teachers and parents will be delighted and they will work with all their vigour and enthusiasm.
