Sand Sculpture on “Mera Pehla Vote Desh Ke Liye" campaign

Renowned sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik has made a sand sculpture on Puri beach in Odisha in support of the “Mera Pehla Vote Desh Ke Liye” campaign, which is gaining traction across the nation. He has encouraged young people and first-time voters to vote in big numbers in order to support and enhance our democracy through his artwork.

Union Minister Anurag Thakur expressed admiration for Pattnaik's artwork by remarking, "Made on Sand, but the impression has been on the minds of every Indian." The Minister on his X Post, shared, "As the #MeraPehlaVoteDeshKeliye, campaign has reached every corner of the country, filling the first-time voter with an unmatched excitement to be a part of the democratic process, we see a beautiful expression of this campaign engraved on sands."

"Mera Pehla Vote Desh Ke Liye" campaign is being run across the nation's higher education establishments, with the primary goal to get young people involved in politics, motivate them to cast ballots, and emphasise the value of voting for the country as a whole. The project is a symbol of the value of elections and the satisfaction that comes with casting a ballot in the largest democracy on earth.
