Students have come up with innovative campaigns to create awareness on 100 per cent polling. A school student and two college students, who had come out with novel campaigns with paint, came to the Collectorate on Tuesday to create awareness among voters.
Fourteen-year-old M. Madhuranthagi, a 10th standard student from Saravanampatti, had made a piece of art with painted rice grains. She had used about 5,000 rice grains in six colours to make it on a cardboard measuring two-and-a-half-foot high and two-feet-wide.
The girl started working on it on Sunday and finished it on Tuesday morning. “I spent nearly 10 hours on the voter awareness drawing,” she said. She first fixed about 4,000 rice grains on the cardboard in the shape of India’s map and painted it. The highlight of her work was the remaining 1,000 rice grains in the shape of a hand casting vote.
Each of these grains had ‘100 % vote’ written on them and could be read only with a magnifying glass.
“Having made quite a few paintings with words written on small rice grains, writing on 1,000 rice grains was not a tough task. I was quite fast at it,” she adds.
Madhuranthagi said that she had taken the pain in coming out with a drawing with a difference to grab the attention of voters and to make them the importance of voting.
Two youth wearing shorts came up with a novel campaign to create awareness on voting by painting their bodies in white and wrote the words ‘100 per cent vote’ on them in red colour.
Persons crossing the Collectorate could not miss them, as they stood holding placards on the importance of voting.
The students also explained passersby on the reason for coming out with such a campaign.
