Navotthan, an annual celebration since 2018, blends art, culture, and environmental consciousness. It began with two competitions: a Free Hand Brushless contest promoting creativity for all ages and a Create from Waste competition to advocate the 3R principle. The initiative, with a mission of “By the people for the people,” aspires to build a community of passionate leaders in art and conservation. Over the years, it expanded its offerings, including a Handicraft exhibition for women artists in 2019, Mental Health and Motivational workshops in 2022, Environmental dialogues from 2023, and the introduction of sports and cultural programs starting in 2025. This journey symbolizes a commitment to sustainability through dialogue, art, innovations, and creations.
