New Delhi, March 10 (SocialNews.XYZ) External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar took some time off diplomacy to appreciate art at the Viksit Bharat Ambassador Artist Workshop in the capital on Sunday as artists from across the country envisioned their dreams of a developed India on canvas.
A host of professional artists and art students from across India participated in the day-long workshop under the aegis of the National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA) and Lalit Kala Akademi at the historic Purana Quila.

"Stopped by at the #ViksitBharatAmbassador Artist Workshop at Purana Quila today. Commend @ngma_delhi and @LalitKalaLKA for organising."
"#ModiKiGuarantee was the underlying message that the country agrees with today," S. Jaishankar, said as he admired some of the artworks featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
It covers a wide range of promises across sectors, citizens, and schemes. As stated on the PM Modi's website, it means a steadfast commitment to the welfare of the people.

Calling the event a good initiative by the Central government, the artists said India will be a developed nation by 2047 and art will also have an important role in it.
