Addressing the gathering during the opening ceremony, Nandkeolyar highlighted the importance of Climate Change and how it is impacting the entire ecosystem. Reinforcing Tata Steel’s commitment towards conservation, enhancement and restoration of biodiversity, Satija said, “We are using art as a medium to create awareness about conserving biodiversity. Events like this help the community understand the importance of environment protection, in a simpler way. This hands-on art workshop will engage community in various biodiversity activities to build a better appreciation and understanding of the work that is being done here and that has to be done in future for environment protection.”

Eminent artists from Odisha and Jharkhand, Manas Ranjan Jena and Brindaban Debnath lauded the efforts of Tata Steel in promoting biodiversity through art and culture. Jena said, “I am delighted to be here today and thank Tata Steel for giving opportunity to the artists to exhibit and promote art and culture in the interiors of the state.”

Addressing the gathering during the closing ceremony, Satija, General Manager (OMQ), Tata Steel said: “I appreciate the thoughts of artists who through various art forms depicted the theme of biodiversity well on canvas and through wooden sculptures and sand art. These paintings and sculptures on the theme of global warming and climate change will be exhibited during the Annual Flower Show at Noamundi on January 5, 2017.”

He thanked the artists who came from the states of Jharkhand, Odisha and West Bengal and conducted workshops for the benefit of school children and community people.

Expressing happiness on attending the biodiversity festival, Badal Pramanik said, “Tata Steel has been doing a lot to promote art and culture in the state. But this unique combination of art and biodiversity is something which is commendable. Protection of biodiversity is the need of the hour and a programme like this helps in spreading the biodiversity message across.”

Prizes were given to the school students who were winners in various competitions on the concluding day. All the artists who participated in the event were also felicitated on the occasion.

Among those present during the closing ceremony were R P Mali, Chief Noamundi, Tata Steel, K C Das, Head Administration (OMQ), office bearers of Noamundi Mazdoor Union, Hari Solanki and Uday Barik, school children along with their teachers and officials of Tata Steel along with their families.
