Addressing the gathering, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat highlighted the significance of bringing together creativity and sustainability. He said that the 'Seva Hi Sanskriti' initiative, organised on the occasion of the Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday, demonstrates how creativity and the spirit of service can come together meaningfully. He appreciated the Lalit Kala Akademi's efforts across its various verticals, including the 'Waste to Wonder' initiative, which gives discarded materials a new artistic expression and highlights the role of art in promoting sustainability.

Vivek Aggarwal, Secretary, Ministry of Culture, highlighted the importance of providing wider opportunities and greater visibility to artists and contemporary Indian art. He invited members of the public, art enthusiasts and visitors to view the 65th National Exhibition of Art at Rabindra Bhawan, New Delhi, which has been extended until October 31, 2026.
