Army Day Painting Competition 2016

          As part of ‘68th Army Day – 2016’ Celebration, the army would be conducting a painting competition on the theme “Indian Army: Symbol of Courage, Valour and Sacrifice” which would be organised at India Gate Lawns on 09 Jan 2016 from 2:00PM onwards.

          The online registration for the event was completed on 04 January 2016 and around 750 children are expected to participate in the event. The competitions are being held under three different categories to include ‘Under 12 years’, ‘12 to 18 years’ and for ‘Differently - Abled Children’. The winners would be presented a trophy and cash prize for each category. Apart from this, 15 consolation prizes with a medallion are also being awarded.

                  The event would be conducted as a prelude to the 68th Army Day - 2016 Celebrations this year and would certainly go a long way to etch an impression in the minds of the future generations of the country on the Indian Army's legacy of Courage, Valour and Sacrifice. The event would also encourage young minds towards Army life and rekindle feeling of patriotism among them.
