Creativity and subtlety has no bounds; it just needs
a medium to express itself. The students of IIM Raipur proved the truth in this
saying on the morning of Gandhi Jayanti, when over 60 of them participated in
the finger painting and sketching competition organized by Kartavya.
The event aimed at portrayal of CSR related themes
by participants through finger paintings or sketches, while having fun at the same
time. The paintings and sketches would be displayed around the campus to help
create awareness about the issues. Needless to say, the event was a rip-roaring
success with some beautiful pieces of art being created and everyone having a
great time.
Students rose up early in the morning and turned up
in droves to promote a good cause. All the colors of the rainbow were seen in
the amazing finger paintings created by the students. More importantly, each
and every painting carried a message which was conveyed brilliantly through the
colors. Some students focused on global warming, others on population explosion;
some thought that water crisis was most important, while others promoted the
go-green initiative. Some students highlighted burning human trafficking. No
matter what the topic was, the students participated enthusiastically and
ensured that their art create awareness about the issue.
The pencil sketches were no less brilliant; these
artists didn’t even need colors to convey the meaning behind the sketch, the
sketch spoke for itself. Some students adopted
face painting as a medium to express their sensitivity.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Through their
sensitivity towards social and environmental issues, students showed the life
of b-school student is not just restricted to business.
All in all, it was a day to remember for everyone.
