Summary
- An art exhibition featuring millet-based paintings was inaugurated on World Food Day.
- The artworks trace the evolution of human food consumption over six months.
- The exhibition highlights the importance of millets and healthy living.
Marking World Food Day, an exhibition of paintings created using millets was inaugurated by Divisional Railway Manager Lalit Bohra in Visakhapatnam. The artist, Meka Vijay Kumar, who is also a railway employee, has presented 16 distinct works.
These artworks, developed over a span of six months, offer a visual narrative of humanity's relationship with food. They depict the progression from early forest-dwelling and the use of millets to the rise of agriculture, the advent of packaged foods, and the current fast-food culture, along with its associated health challenges.
Mr. Bohra commended the use of art for social causes and encouraged the public to embrace their food heritage and healthy lifestyles. The exhibition is open for public viewing for three days, promoting awareness about millets and their nutritional benefits.
