Dainik Bhaskar hosted a painting competition from 20th April to 3rd May 2023, to honor mothers and maternal figures on the special occasion of Mother’s Day.
The contest was open for 14 days and the importance of mothers in the lives of our readers was underscored with the overwhelming response that we received. A total of 21,050 entries from our readers came in over the period of the contest. The results of the competition were published on Mother’s Day itself, with the winners being felicitated with special prizes. Exhibition of the paintings was organised for three consecutive days in Bhopal DB Mall and later in Jaipur, Indore and Ahmedabad which was highly appreciated by the readers. Some of these paintings also adorned our masthead – a small tribute to the immense power of motherhood.
Commenting on this, Girish Agarwal said, “On the occasion of Mother’s Day, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the mothers that have nurtured and shaped us. The expression of a mother’s love, strength, and selflessness was strongly on display in the overwhelming response we received from our readers. At Dainik Bhaskar, our content is a reflection of our readers and the special edition with the winning painting as our masthead is a testament to this ethos.”
Commenting on this achievement, National Editor Arun Chouhan said, “Dainik Bhaskar has been engaging with the audience through innovative content and approach. In order to acknowledge and honor the role of all the mothers, we came up with an innovative contest giving our readers an opportunity to express their affection towards their mothers. We are humbled by our readers’ response to this event and are encouraged to continue to engage with our readers with creative and thoughtful content.”
