As part of its continuous efforts to spread environmental awareness at the grassroots level, IITM-EIACP (PC-RP), Pune organized a drawing competition on 9th May 2025 for students from slum areas in Pune. The initiative aimed to encourage creative expression while instilling a sense of environmental responsibility among young minds. The competition focused on several important environmental themes, including renewable energy such as solar and wind energy, water conservation, organic farming, environmental protection, and the connection between lifestyle and the environment. The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from around 80 students, who depicted their thoughts, ideas, and concerns through colorful and meaningful artwork. The drawings reflected a clear understanding of environmental issues and the children's ability to visualize solutions through artistic expression. To recognize their efforts and motivate further engagement, the top 10 winners were felicitated with eco-friendly prizes during the Environmental Awareness Event held on 21st May 2025 at Janata Vasahat, Pune. This prize distribution ceremony also served as an opportunity to raise environmental consciousness among the local community.
