Pune: PCMC School Students Shine at National-Level Art Competition

Pimpri, 17th October 2025: Students from Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) schools showcased their creativity and imagination at the national-level Creative Quotient Art Competition held at the Museum of Solutions (MuSo) in Mumbai. A total of 34 students from 17 PCMC-run civic schools participated in the contest and earned appreciation for their innovative artistic expressions.

“Students from PCMC schools are proving that learning is not limited to textbooks. They are excelling in art, science, and technology alike. Competitions like the Creative Quotient Art Contest give children a platform to think creatively and express themselves confidently.” – Pradip Jambhale Patil, Additional Commissioner, PCMC

The competition, designed to inspire originality and critical thinking among children, invited students to paint on thought-provoking themes such as “My Dream” and “What AI Can’t Do.” Through their art, students expressed ideas about social awareness, imagination, and human creativity in the age of artificial intelligence. Each artwork reflected a unique perspective on society, environment, and technology.

The participation was guided by Additional Commissioner Pradip Jambhale Patil and supported by Assistant Commissioner (Education) Kiran Kumar More, Administrative Officer Sangeeta Bangar, and Art Nodal Officer Srikant Chougule. Art teachers from PCMC schools mentored the students and helped them refine their concepts for the competition.

“It’s heartening to see our students exhibit such strong artistic vision at a national platform. The Mumbai event was a valuable experience for nurturing creativity. The Education Department is committed to supporting every child’s artistic and intellectual growth.” – Kiran Kumar More, Assistant Commissioner (Education), PCMC

The event not only offered a creative platform for students but also aimed to strengthen their confidence and thought process. As part of the visit, students also explored the Museum of Solutions, where they engaged with interactive exhibits on science, technology, and environment—ranging from the water cycle and marine biodiversity to coastal ecosystems and artificial intelligence. The visit proved to be both educational and inspiring for the young minds.
