SMVDU DYD Students Organise Painting Competition at Government Primary
School, Suhal

Students of the Design Your Degree (DYD) programme, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi
University (SMVDU), Katra, organised a painting competition at Government Primary
School, Suhal No. I, under the banner of the National Service Scheme (NSS).

The
initiative aimed to encourage creativity, nurture artistic talent, and provide young
children with an opportunity to express their imagination through colours and artwork.

The competition witnessed enthusiastic participation from schoolchildren across different
grades. DYD student volunteers actively engaged with the participants, guiding them in
their paintings, assisting with drawing materials and colours, and encouraging them to
express their ideas freely.

Their support created a friendly, inclusive, and joyful learning
environment.

The university volunteers appreciated the children's creativity and
encouraged them to participate with confidence and enthusiasm. Following the
competition, prizes were distributed among students of different grades in recognition of
their participation and artistic efforts.

In addition, the DYD volunteers distributed
essential educational and creative materials, including notebooks, pencils, crayons, and
other stationery items, to support the children's learning and creative activities.

The
initiative reflected SMVDU's commitment to community engagement, social
responsibility, and experiential learning through student participation in community-
oriented activities.

Such initiatives provide university students with valuable
opportunities to contribute to society while fostering creativity, confidence, and learning
among young children.
