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.
