Jamshedpur: A one-day tribal art workshop was organized at Tata Workers Union High School, Kadma, by the cultural initiative ‘Abira’ to promote indigenous art forms among students. Over 20 students participated in the session, which introduced them to traditional tribal styles such as Sohrai and Paitkar painting.

The workshop aimed to preserve and promote India’s tribal art heritage while encouraging creativity among young learners. Special guest and National Teachers’ Award 2022 recipient Shipra Mishra praised the students for their enthusiasm and encouraged them to pursue artistic skills.

Abira founder Shweta Singh emphasized that tribal art was not just creativity but a cultural identity that must be preserved and passed on to future generations. The initiative was inspired during a visit by Deputy Commissioner Rajiv Ranjan.

Following its success, Abira plans to conduct similar workshops in schools and rural areas, along with a summer camp in collaboration with Geeta Theatre, NGO Aarambh, and the Forest Department to further promote tribal art.
