Haflong: HELP Society held an art competition on November 23 at Vivekananda Vidyalaya High School, Haflong, as part of its campaign for the North East Integration Rally 2026 under the Climate Change and Green Deeds initiative. More than a hundred students from different schools took part across two groups, bringing strong energy and imagination to the event.

The idea was simple. Get young students to think and talk about climate change in a way that feels natural to them. Their paintings reflected worries, hopes, and solutions around sustainability, green habits, and the need to protect the planet.

A short prize ceremony followed the competition, celebrating the winners from both groups.

He also thanked Cultural Secretary Puja Munda for her steady work behind the scenes in planning and executing the event.

The North East Integration Rally 2026 is designed to deepen ties among the eight states of the region while encouraging cultural exchange, peace, and environmental awareness. Through initiatives like this competition, HELP Society continues to inspire young people to take ownership of environmental issues and contribute to a more connected and thoughtful North East.
