Celebrating Young Voices for a Cleaner India โ "Swachhata Hi Seva" Thematic Painting Competition
On March 29, 2026, children aged 7 to 12 years from Makkala Dhama and Nisarga Grama came together for a special painting competition themed "Swachhata Hi Seva" โ expressing, through colour and imagination, what cleanliness and service to society mean to them organised by the Directorate of Income-tax (Intelligence & Criminal Investigation), Karnataka & Goa Region, Bengaluru. The competition provided a platform for children aged 7โ12 years to creatively express their understanding of cleanliness, environmental responsibility, and community well-being through art.
The initiative culminated on 8 July 2026 with a special Prize Distribution Ceremony, where the young artists were recognized for their creativity and thoughtful expression. The event was graced by Smt. Vandana Sagar, IRS, Chief Commissioner of Income-tax, who presented the prizes to the winners, along with Mr. K. M. Mahesh, IRS.
The dignitaries enthusiastically interacted with the children, appreciating their artwork and the messages conveyed through their paintings. They also expressed keen interest in learning more about Sparsha Trust's child care initiatives, Makkala Dhama and Nisarga Grama, and the positive impact these programmes continue to create in the lives of children.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Directorate of Income-tax (Intelligence & Criminal Investigation), Karnataka & Goa Region, for choosing Sparsha Trust and our children to be part of this meaningful initiative. Opportunities such as these encourage creativity, build confidence, and inspire children to become socially conscious and responsible citizens.
At Sparsha Trust, we believe that every child has a voice, and platforms like these help young minds express themselves, dream bigger, and realize their potential.
