Topic ideas and tips: Republic Day
Ideas to draw
- The Constitution as a big open book, with children from different states standing around it.
- The parade on Kartavya Path: marching contingents, a school band, colourful tableaux.
- Flag hoisting in your school ground, with students in rows and parents watching.
- Rights and duties in one picture: a child voting in a school election, another planting a tree.
- Unity in diversity: festivals, dresses and dances of different states in a circle.
Tips
- Colour the flag with saffron on top, white in the middle and green at the bottom, and a navy blue wheel with 24 spokes. Never write anything on the flag.
- Keep the flag's length to height at 3:2, for example 6 cm long and 4 cm high.
- Draw the big shapes first (people, arch, stage), then the small details.
- Keep the sky light so the flag and the people stand out.
Ideas to draw
- Kites over rooftops on the morning of 15 August.
- India's nature: a peacock, a tiger, lotus flowers and a banyan tree in one scene.
- A scene from the freedom struggle, such as people walking together on a long march.
- India then and now: a bullock cart on one side, a metro train on the other.
- Your school's flag hoisting with children saluting and sweets being shared.
Tips
- Plan the page in light pencil: one big main picture and a simple background.
- Warm colours (yellow, orange) make the sky look festive.
- For a peacock, draw the eye-spots on the feathers first, then the feather lines around them.
- The same flag rules apply: saffron on top, nothing written on it, never shown touching the ground.
Ideas to draw
- Children cleaning a park and putting litter into dustbins.
- Two bins, one for wet waste and one for dry waste, with a family sorting their rubbish.
- Washing hands with soap before eating.
- A clean village street with covered drains, trees and a toilet for every home.
- Before and after: a dirty street on the left, the same street clean on the right.
Tips
- A split "before and after" page tells the story at a glance.
- Show people doing something (sweeping, sorting, washing), not just a dustbin.
- Mark the bins with simple pictures, like a leaf and a bottle, instead of long words.
- Draw your own ideas; don't copy campaign logos.
Ideas to draw
- Two hands holding the Earth with a small plant growing from it.
- A family planting a tree and watering it.
- A big tree as a home: birds, a nest, a squirrel and a child reading in its shade.
- Cutting trees versus planting trees, as a split page.
- A green city: rooftop gardens, cycles and trees along every road.
Tips
- Use many shades of green: light for new leaves, darker for old ones.
- Add birds, butterflies and animals to show life around the trees.
- If a slogan is allowed, keep it short and write it in large, neat letters.
- Leave some white space; a crowded page is hard to read from a distance.
Ideas to draw
- A child closing a dripping tap.
- Rainwater from a roof flowing through a pipe into a tank.
- A village pond with lotus flowers and old stone steps, with people watering a garden.
- A big water drop with the Earth inside it.
- Mug and bucket versus a running shower, side by side.
Tips
- Three shades of blue give water depth: light on top, darker below.
- Show cause and effect: a tap left running on one side, dry cracked land on the other.
- One big water drop in the centre makes a strong poster.
- Use brown and yellow for dry land so the blue water stands out.
Ideas to draw
- A clean-energy city: solar panels, wind turbines, a metro line and trees.
- A modern village: solar pumps, drones over fields, a school and a health centre.
- Children building robots and watching a rocket launch.
- Fast trains and long bridges across rivers and hills.
- People in every kind of work: farmer, doctor, pilot, scientist, teacher.
Tips
- Viksit Bharat means your picture of a developed India by 2047: mix progress with clean air, water and trees.
- Show people using the new things, not only buildings and machines.
- A rising sun or a bright sky gives the page a hopeful mood.
- Draw your own symbols. Don't copy government logos or emblems.
Ideas to draw
- Diwali: a rangoli with diyas, lanterns and marigold garlands.
- Holi: friends with water pistols, colours and sweets.
- Eid: lanterns, a crescent moon, a family sharing sweets and gifts.
- Christmas: a decorated tree, a star and gifts.
- Harvest festivals: kites for Makar Sankranti, a pongal pot, an Onam flower carpet.
Tips
- Festivals are about light: leave a white or yellow glow around every diya and lamp.
- For a rangoli, trace circles with a bangle or bowl, then add petals around them.
- Show people celebrating together; it makes the picture warm.
- Decorations look best when you repeat a few colours across the page.
Ideas to draw
- The school gate in the morning with children arriving.
- Your classroom: the teacher, the board, friends at their desks.
- Playtime: swings, a slide, football and skipping.
- Morning assembly in rows.
- The library or science lab you like most.
Tips
- Use a ruler for the building's straight lines.
- People further away are drawn smaller and higher up the page.
- Add one thing that is special about your own school: a big tree, a mural or a garden.
- Colour uniforms the same for everyone so the picture looks neat.
Ideas to draw
- A balanced thali: roti, rice, dal, vegetables, salad and curd.
- A basket of fruit and vegetables.
- Healthy versus junk food, as a split page.
- A kitchen garden with tomatoes, chillies and leafy greens.
- A packed school lunch box and a water bottle.
Tips
- A healthy plate has many colours; show that variety.
- Add a glass of water or milk.
- Draw food large and close up so the details show.
- Use a light background so the food looks fresh.
For every competition
- Check the rules first: paper size (A4 or A3), colours allowed and the time limit.
- Fill the whole page. Sketch lightly in pencil, colour from light to dark, then outline at the end.
- Practise the drawing once at home and time yourself.
- Write your name only where the rules say, usually on the back or in the name box.
Drawing the India of 2047
Viksit Bharat, a developed India by 2047, has become one of the most common themes for school drawing and poster competitions. It's a wide topic, which is both good and hard: you can draw almost anything, but a page that tries to show everything ends up crowded and confusing. The best entries usually pick one strong idea and show people living it.
The four outline sheets on this page each take one idea. Use them for colouring practice, to plan a composition, or simply as a starting point for your own drawing.
Four ideas, four sheets
- A clean-energy city: tall buildings with solar panels, wind turbines on the hills, an elevated metro, electric buses, cycle lanes and trees along every road.
- A modern village: a farmer on a tractor, a drone over the fields, a solar water pump, a school and a health centre, and the old village well still in use.
- Young scientists: children building a robot on laptops while a rocket lifts off outside the window.
- Connected India: a fast train crossing a long bridge over a river, with a dam and hills behind and a farmer waving.
More ideas you can draw on your own
- Women and men in every kind of work: pilot, scientist, farmer, doctor, soldier, teacher, standing together.
- A clean river with ghats, boats and birds, and no plastic in the water.
- A digital India scene: a village shop accepting payment by phone, a child attending an online class.
- Then and now: a mud road with a bullock cart on one side, a highway and electric bus on the other.
- Sports India: stadiums, athletes and medals.
- Healthy India: yoga in a park, a clinic, children with lunch boxes of fruit.
How judges tend to look at a Viksit Bharat drawing
| What they notice | How to get it right |
|---|---|
| Idea | One clear message you can explain in a sentence |
| Balance | Progress (machines, buildings) together with nature (trees, clean water, sky) |
| People | Show people using and enjoying the new things |
| Colour | A bright, hopeful palette: blue sky, green trees, a warm sunrise |
| Neatness | Clean outlines and the whole page filled |
Tips for the day
- Sketch the big shapes lightly first: the horizon, the main building or train, the people.
- Draw solar panels as simple grids of small rectangles; a ruler helps.
- Wind turbines are three thin blades on a tall pole, easy and instantly recognisable.
- Avoid copying logos, emblems or the national emblem; draw your own symbols, such as a rising sun or a growing sapling.
- If the tricolour appears, follow the flag rules: saffron on top, a navy blue wheel with 24 spokes, nothing written on it.
Choose A3 above if your competition gives A3 sheets, and add the competition name in the Heading box.

Frequently asked questions
What does Viksit Bharat mean?
Viksit Bharat means a developed India. The government has set the goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047, a hundred years after independence, and many school competitions ask students to draw their vision of that India.
What should I draw for a Viksit Bharat competition?
Pick one big idea: clean energy (solar panels and wind turbines), modern transport (metro, fast trains), smart villages (solar pumps, drones, schools, health centres), science and space, or equal jobs for women and men. Add people and trees so it feels alive.
Is a Viksit Bharat drawing easy for small children?
Yes. Younger children can draw a simple scene: a house with solar panels, a tree, a school and a bus. The outline sheets on this page are also good for colouring practice.
Can I use the government logo in my drawing?
It's better not to. Competitions usually reward original ideas, and you should not copy official logos or emblems. Draw your own symbols, like a rising sun or a growing tree.
Should I write 2047 or a slogan on the drawing?
Only if the rules allow text. If they do, keep it short and neat, such as one line at the bottom.
