This competition was organized for the English medium schools of Jamshedpur. 176 students from 19 schools participated.
The students were divided into two groups � Senior (Class 3 to 5) and Junior (Class 6 � 9). They were given the required art material; Senior group was given acrylic colours and oil pastels were given to the Junior group. �Swachh Bharat Abhiyan� and �Save Water, Save Life� were the topics given to the Senior and Junior groups, respectively.

R N Murthy, managing director, TCIL, was the Chief Guest of Color Splash 2019. He inaugurated the event by putting the first stroke on a blank canvas. Speaking on the occasion Murthy said �School students are always pressurized to concentrate on studies, practice Maths, memorize written content, thereby utilizing only the left hemisphere of their brain. Art is also an important aspect of education and should be paid equal attention, to develop the right hemisphere of the brain.� Murthy also interacted with and motivated the young participants.
