I would like to share my story how I got involved with blogs. The credit goes to T Prasad Sir, he helped us in writing blogs and then I realised that blogs are good way to express our thoughts and share it with others. So, in this blog I would like to mention the event MAHAMANDI organised by MIG and 1/12 Mandi Sir of NITIE, Mumbai.

On 74th Independence Day we students from NITIE are celebrating this occasion in a unique way by organizing Mandi in virtual mode! The idea was incubated by Mandi Sir to start promoting our honourable Prime Minister's idea of Atmanirbhar Bharat through local products with the slogan 'Vocal for Local'.

We at NITIE, Mumbai are committed towards strengthening India and the fellow Indians from every possible frontier. We are looking for innovative solutions to bring equity, enfranchise the person standing on the lowest strata of the societal hierarchy, bringing inclusiveness, making things effective by reaching out to villages and giving more power to the rural establishments.

On May 13, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "Vocal for Local" became most intense trademark the nation has heard over the most recent 50 years. In a force pressed discourse, PM Modi reported an incredible Rs 20 lakh crore monetary bundle to restore India's economy that has been seriously battered by the emergency caused because of the COVID-19 pandemic. He likewise encouraged the individuals to approach in making an independent (Aatma Nirbhar) country by supporting nearby organizations.

While 'Vocal for Local' has become the most drifting expression over the most recent days, it is only an expansion of the 'Swadeshi Movement' thought brought about by some extraordinary political dissidents of the nation, including the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi.

We had to present an idea which was to showcase our local product and we have to promote it.

 

I along with my friend Chandra Prakash discussed about "मधुबनी चित्रकला".

Madhubani art (or Mithila painting) is a style of Indian painting, practiced in the Mithila region of the Indian subcontinent. This painting is done with a variety of tools, including fingers, twigs, brushes, nib-pens, and matchsticks, and using natural dyes and pigments. It is characterised by its eye-catching geometrical patterns. There is ritual content for occasions, such as birth or marriage, and festivals, such as Holi, Surya Shasti, Kali Puja, Upanayana, and Durga Puja.

Madhubani art has five distinctive styles: Bharni, Kachni, Tantrik, Godna and Kohbar. In the 1960s Bharni, Kachni and Tantrik styles were mainly done by Brahman and Kayashth women, who are 'upper caste' women in India and Nepal. Their themes were mainly religious, and they depicted Gods and Goddesses paintings. People of lower castes included aspects of their daily life and symbols, the story of Raja Shailesh [guard of the village] and much more, in their paintings. Nowadays Madhubani art has become a globalised art form, so there is no difference in the work based on the caste system. They work in all five styles. Madhubani art has received worldwide attention.
