Vodafone Essar, one of India’s leading cellular service providers, in association with Times of India, today successfully concluded “Paint Your Planet”- a painting competition hosted on the occasion of World Environment Day. The event was focused on spreading awareness about protection of our environment.

Children within the age group of 4 -18 years participated in the painting competition held at Shrimanta Shankardeva, Kalashetra on June 5, 2010. The participants through their paintings depicted the most challenging environmental issues and created awareness about the depleting resources of the world.

Mr. Anand Sahai, Senior Vice President, Assam & North East said, “It is our endeavour to promote awareness about greater environmental sustainability and “Paint Your Planet” is a platform through which we address serious issues in the most creative way.
