Drawing Competition

- 40 Participants
YuvaRise successfully organised a Drawing Competition at Ma Sharda School, Garkheda, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, with enthusiastic participation from students of Classes 6th to 9th across 3 schools, bringing together a total of 40 young participants.
The competition was conducted under the theme “My Canvas, My Choice,” giving students complete freedom to express their ideas, imagination, and perspectives through art. The objective of this initiative was not just to create drawings, but to encourage creative thinking, self-expression, and confidence among students.
The event was graced by our esteemed Chief Guest, Hon. Suresh Lipane Sir (Former Vice Principal, Deogiri College), whose presence and guidance added great value to the program. We were also honoured by the presence and support of Hon. Dilip Funde Sir (Secretary), Hon. Funde Mam (Treasurer), and Hon. Dnyaneshwar Khedkar Sir (Principal) of Ma Sharda School.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Ma Sharda School for graciously hosting this event and to Wakulnikar Foods for supporting this initiative.
This competition was a small step towards building a platform where students can think independently, express confidently, and grow through meaningful experiences.
This is just the beginning… picture abhi baaki hai.

YuvaRise Spark 60 was introduced as an annual idea-driven initiative to encourage students to think beyond academics and confidently present meaningful ideas that can positively impact society. The 2025 edition, themed “Share One Strong Idea That Can Transform Student Life in India,” invited students to present impactful solutions in a focused 60-second format, providing a structured platform to express thoughts with clarity, confidence, and responsibility while strengthening communication and critical thinking skills.
Participants shared thoughtful proposals such as forming student-led groups to collaboratively address university challenges, establishing Student Success Hubs in colleges to nurture leadership and creativity, and introducing structured mental well-being sessions as part of education. The Champion of YuvaRise Spark 60 (2025), Divya Daga, received the award from Dr. Anoop Mohanty (HOD, Applied Finance, Lovely Professional University) for her idea of introducing a dedicated Wellness Period in schools and colleges to strengthen resilience, mindfulness, and holistic student development alongside academics.
Spark 60 marked an important step in YuvaRise’s long-term vision of building a growing national platform where student voices inspire dialogue, innovation, and positive transformation. As the initiative continues annually with evolving focus areas, YuvaRise aims to expand participation across institutions and create stronger opportunities for students to express ideas, inspire change, and help shape a brighter future.
