Nagpur: When you arrive in Nagpur by air next from any trip and walk into the Arrivals lounge to retrieve your bags, you will pause, look and admire! You will be thrilled with the new look of our Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Airport that espouses and supports the cause of empowering the girl child in a most beautiful and unique way.
The brain child of Dr. Suchika Gupta Deshmukh, MD of HERD foundation, the huge mural measuring 293 running and 2930 square feet, was dedicated to the people today. Helping her fulfill her vision were a local artist Shagufta and American Fulbright scholar Augustina Dross.
This big canvas, which runs across two entire walls of the lounge was painted in just 13 days with Augustina in the lead, aided by Shagufta and numerous volunteers who worked almost round the clock.
Augustina was scheduled to leave back for USA on 18th February, and it was the first week of February by the time all permissions had been received from the Airport Director and other formalities were done with.
How to undertake such a gigantic task, in the short window of time, which was a first even for the experienced Fulbright scholar/Artist, was a real question. Shagufta and others at HERD appealed for more volunteers on social media and the response was overwhelming.
