The Jama-ath Higher Secondary School at Thandekkad in Perumbavoor in Ernakulam district of Kerala paid homage to Mahatma Gandhi ahead of his birth anniversary on October 2 by readying a huge portrait of the Father of the Nation in stencil art on Thursday.
A portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, measuring 51.3 feet in height and 44.3 feet in width and spread over 2,272 sq.ft, was unveiled at the school auditorium. The creative work was undertaken by nearly 120 budding artists from classes 7 to 12 as part of Gandhiyam initiative by cartoonist Shanavas Mudikkal.
“The portrait of Mahatma Gandhi is the first in the proposed 100 portraits of freedom fighters to be set up in select schools across the State. We hope that such a venture will help the young generation learn more about the sacrifices made by those who fought for India’s independence,” said Mr. Shanavas.
