The Visual Communication students of Auxilium College, Vellore, took on their paint and brush with a mission to decorate the walls of a neighbouring railway station to prevent the public from marring the walls with graffiti.

An initiative of the Department of Visual Communication, with Sr. Juliana Victor, Head of the Department, and other faculty members and 30 students, painted the walls of Katpadi railway station. “The exercise is to bring social responsibility in students. Also, as the railway station is closer to our college and used by many people every day, we chose the facility,” said Ms Radhika, a faculty.

The paintings on the walls depicted various activities of Scouts and Guides, including guide flag march, road safety, cleanliness and mountaineering, coinciding with 75 years of Scouts and Guides formation. Other themes like wildlife protection and nature conservation also adorn the walls. The paintings on the wall project were assisted by Saranya, Priyanga, Shyni and Kiruba, all Assistant Professors at the Department of Visual Communication of the college.
