Curated by Sushma Thota, this special edition of Paropakar blends the transformative power of art with the mission to educate. The event features a vibrant art exhibition showcasing works of leading artists and Masters like Thota Vaikuntham, Jogen Chowdary, Lalu Prasad Shaw, and KG Subramaniam, Suhas Roy, Aelay Laxman, and soul-stirring performances by the very children whose futures this initiative seeks to uplift.

“My decade-long involvement with the NGO Nachiketa has inspired me to plan a major fundraising event - Paropakar 2025. This year the focus of Paropakar Fundraiser is free education for underprivileged, tribal, and first-generation learners. ️ Every artwork purchased at Paropakar 2025 directly funds a child's education—covering tuition, books, uniforms, and meals,” she says.
