Bharat Ratna Sri Atal Bihari Vajpayee was not only one of the greatest

statesmen of our time but he was also an amazing speaker and a sensitive creative-

soul. A fitting tribute to such a soul, Atal Art Competition, which started in 2018,

aims at nurturing the minds of young aspirants of art and culture, allowing them to

assimilate the moral, social, political and creative ideals of Atalji.

The second season of this competition is expected to start its sojourn from

the point where we left it and surely it will set new benchmarks of achievement and

success. With its successful planning to induct students from class IV to class VIII (40

from each class) from 125 schools, this competition witnessed 25000 participants in

the first round, which was held at school level. About 1250 students, 10 per school

and 2 per class, were selected for the final round, which was organized at Nilansh

Theme Park Resort & Water Park, Itaunja, Sitapur Road, Lucknow. Apart from

one winner and one runner per class, 8 consolatory prizes (total 50) were handed over

to them by Honorable Sri Rajnath Singh, the then Home Minister of India & Dy.

Chief Minister U.P. Dr. Dinesh Sharma , in a grand ceremony.

This art competition, created by a philanthropic organization with

the goal of empowering young people and to draw their attention to the vast legacy

left by one of the greatest Ratna of Mother India, challenges children and young

people to use art and creative writing to explore themes of diversity, race, equality and

identity through their artwork . Nilansh foundation provides a stage for unlocking

creativity and expression in these minds
