Speaking on the occasion, Saumitra Prasad, Chief Marketing Officer, Kokuyo Camlin Limited said, “We are extremely delighted to create history in our country by creating the world’s largest canvas in a single day with the help of Children. Children are the future for the country and have sent the National message on Clean India - loud and clear. It has been really enthralling to see the young minds put forth their theme-based thoughts onto a canvas artistically.

This is the second consecutive year of Kokuyo Camlin celebrating World Art Day and every year it’s becoming bigger and bigger. We hope in the process, we shall be able to promote art, a subject extremely important in the overall development of children, and necessary to make earning more fun.” The event saw enthusiastic children splashing their thoughts and imagination onto the canvas.
