As many as 128 children from 37 schools who participated in a painting contest on the theme - conservation of fossil fuels - at the Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum on Sunday, painted their eco concern on canvas.
The contest was aimed at making kids carry forward the oil and gas conservation message.
Several students painted prototypes of energy efficient houses with roofs lined with solar cells and facilities of rainwater harvesting.
“Onus is on us to protect nature and environment. I hope people will implement suggestions made through my painting,” Nischith P Javagal of Little Flower Public School said.
Children also sketched the recent disasters like oil spill. The national-level painting competition was organised by the Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum in
association with Petroleum Conservation Research Association.
