“Rang De Veer” : Jul 2021 to Aug 2021

As part of its mission to honor and raise awareness about the fallen heroes of the Indian Armed Forces, the Honourpoint Foundation organized the 3rd edition of the “Rang De Veer” All India Open Online Painting Contest in 2021. The contest was thoughtfully scheduled to commence on Kargil Vijay Diwas (July 26, 2021) and conclude on Independence Day (August 15, 2021)—two significant dates that symbolize India’s resilience, freedom, and the sacrifices of our brave soldiers. The competition was open to all Indian children up to the age of 18 years, including children with special needs, promoting inclusivity and encouraging young minds to express their patriotism through art. The response was overwhelming, with a large number of students from hundreds of schools across the country enthusiastically participating. The contest provided a platform for children to creatively depict their understanding and appreciation of the valour and sacrifices of our Armed Forces personnel.

The results were announced on September 15, 2021, and 56 prizes were awarded—28 prizes in each category—to recognize the outstanding talent and creativity displayed by the participants. These young artists vividly captured themes of bravery, sacrifice, and national pride, making the contest a meaningful tribute to the nation’s heroes. Some of the prize-winning entries from the Senior Category showcased remarkable skill and a deep sense of patriotism, serving as a testament to the success of the event in inspiring a new generation to honor and remember the sacrifices of the Armed Forces. The contest not only celebrated artistic talent but also ensured that the stories of courage and sacrifice remain alive in the hearts of young Indians.
