To encourage artistic talent among children of rail-fraternity, Railway Women’s Welfare Central Organisation (RWWCO) annually organises an All India Railway Drawing & Painting Competition for the wards of Railwaymen.
The winners of the competition are also invited to Delhi for receiving the prizes in a function organised by the organisation.This year this function was held recently at National Rail Museum Auditorium.
Kanta Kumar, President of RWWCO was the chief guest and distributed merit certificates, cash awards to winning wards of railwaymen (58 in number) who had come to Delhi from various zonal railways/production units on Indian Railways.
RWWCO is the apex body of the chain of women’s welfare organisations spread over all Indian Railways engaged in the task of welfare of railwaymen and their families through various need-based socio/welfare activities.
The organisation started its activities in 1962 after Indo-China War, and while the primary concern of the organisation is the welfare of railway employees and their families, it has always risen to the call of the society and the nation — be it environmental awareness, family welfare drives, disturbances on the borders or the natural calamities. It is one of the fore-runner voluntary organisations in the country today.
