Hundreds of students responded to the most pressing issues faced by the planet through their paintings at a competition organised by Roots Junior College on Saturday.
Students from 23 schools brought their creative talent to the fore as they explored topics such as My Life Ambition, Plastic-Free India and Digital India, leaving the judges — artists Bhasker and B.Narsimha Rao — impressed. The judge duo appreciated the thought process of the students, who painted their ideas and vision in various colours.
