Korel, Chandigarh November 25, 2019

            On the recommendations of the Committee constituted by Prof. Raj Kumar, Vice Chancellor under the Chairmanship of Prof. Harsh Nayyar, Department of Botany to assist Horticulture Division for making graffiti at the Student Centre pond. The necessary help by the Deptt. of Arts History & Visual Arts, PU was provided and a graffiti workshop was organised in collaboration with Horticulture Division on 23-24 November, 2019.

            The Horticulture Division provided the material for the workshop and prepared the background for conducting the workshop by cleaning the area including the minor repairs of the pond and removing the wild growth. The walls of the pond were filled with the required material by the Horticulture Division for making the surface smooth so that the graffiti should look impressive. All the material as requested by the Deptt. of Arts History & Visual Arts like paints, brushes, papers, stainers of different colours, spray paints etc. were supplied by the Horticulture Division.

            About 25 participants (students) displayed their skills in the workshop. They were served lunch and refreshments by the Horticulture Division. Their paintings depicted the message of cleanliness in the Campus through cartoon and other means. Due care was taken that the graffiti should focus on the theme of cleanliness and banning the use of plastic in the Campus. Due care was also taken that the banned items of single use plastic like disposable plates, cups etc. were not used during the workshop.
