Empowering underprivileged children: Painting diyas for a brighter future

Young artists are empowering underprivileged children in Bhubaneswar by teaching them to paint decorative diyas. These children, previously begging or working, are now creating and selling their artwork for Rs 25 and Rs 40. Initiatives by individuals like Subhadra Sethy and Manaswini Parida aim to provide these children with skills for self-reliance and a dignified income during the festive season.
