NTPC Northern Region Headquarters (NRHQ), Lucknow, will host the
State-Level Painting Competition 2026 under the aegis of the Bureau of Energy
Efficiency (BEE), Ministry of Power, Government of India, at Indira Gandhi
Pratishthan here on November 14.
The competition will bring together 100 shortlisted young artists from
schools across Uttar Pradesh, whose paintings have been selected following an
evaluation by a panel of judges on the basis of creativity, originality,
artistic expression and relevance to the prescribed themes.
The young participants have creatively portrayed the significance of
energy conservation through two themes — “Save Energy at School and Home” and
“Energy Conservation is the Key for Energy Security”. Their artworks seek to
highlight the importance of responsible energy consumption, sustainable
development and energy security in building a greener future for the country.

students across the state, with their vibrant and thought-provoking paintings
reflecting a growing awareness among the younger generation about environmental
sustainability and the need to conserve energy.

the successful completion of the first round at the school level with the
active support of the Uttar Pradesh government. The encouraging response from
students underscores the increasing recognition of energy conservation as a
shared responsibility and an essential component of sustainable development.
