Held at Auden Public School, the competition encouraged children to express respect for the elderly through art, with Founder and CEO Srinivasan G highlighting the importance of compassion across generations
More than 250 students of Auden Public School took part in an art competition organised by Athulya Senior Care to mark World Senior Citizens Day. The event centred on the theme #CaringForASenior, inviting children to reflect on the role of elders in families and communities and to depict their ideas through drawings and paintings.
The initiative aimed to help young students understand the values of respect, empathy, and gratitude towards older generations. Teachers and parents present at the event noted that such exercises allow children to think deeply about the contributions of seniors and the importance of maintaining intergenerational bonds.
Speaking at the event, Srinivasan G, Founder and CEO of Athulya Senior Care, said that while the art competition was an engaging activity, its real purpose was to instil lasting values. He explained that creating awareness about the needs of seniors among schoolchildren builds a foundation for more compassionate families and, by extension, a more caring society.
The artworks produced during the competition reflected diverse perspectives, from everyday acts of kindness to larger ideas about inclusion and dignity for seniors. For Athulya Senior Care, the activity aligned with its broader mission of encouraging society to see senior care not just as responsibility but as a meaningful part of community life.
The event at Auden Public School concluded with appreciation for the young participants, whose art captured the spirit of World Senior Citizens Day and reinforced the message that respect for seniors must remain central to family and social values.
