HIV/AIDS EDUCATIONAL AWARENESS POSTER
EXHIBITION,PAINTING & QUIZ COMPETITION CONDUCTED FOR
CHILDREN&YOUNGSTERS-AROUND THE WORLD.
REF:WORLD CONTEST/HIV-AIDS/UN,UNAIDS/JAN.10,2000/VENUS.
Venus Arts Institute (Venus School of Arts) is an art work oriented training
Institution, recognized and grant in aid by Government of Kerala, India which has been
fighting voluntarily against HIV/AIDS since 1997. We conducted competitions in
Trivandrum, Capital of Kerala in April 6-11, 1998, October 10 – 12, 2001 and in
November 25, 2001 in the item quiz and painting competitions were conducted
November and December 2005 for belong in the those who the age group of 10 – 25.
Mr. R.Raja ,is a humanist artist and principal &Managing Director of Venus Arts
Institute (Venus School of Arts – Neyyattinkara) a semi-government art Institution
located at Parassala, Trivandrum since 1951. He is fighting against HIV/AIDS through
his art institution in a novel way of poster awareness programs by conducting painting
exhibitions and HIV/AIDS painting and quiz competitions, for the benefit of children and
youngsters, spending his energy and money from his own pocket. Being a humble artist,
he is doing what he can do to eradicate this killer disease.
He started his attempts to create awareness about HIV/AIDS in Kerala even
before others thought about it. In April 6 – 11, 1998, he conducted a painting exhibition
with poster awareness program about HIV/AIDS and successfully conducted them
during the 47th anniversary of Venus Arts Institute held at, Government Museum
Auditorium, Trivandrum, Kerala. This was the first effort in the world to create effective
awareness about this fatal disease among people by painting pictures.
In October 10th, 11th and 12th, 2001 and November 25th 2001, he organized a
painting exhibition in connection with the golden Jubilee celebrations of Venus Arts
Institute which was held at the Government Museum Auditorium, Trivandrum. In this
exhibition he presented posters connected with HIV/AIDS, and instructed the
participating school and college students to paint their own pictures getting inspiration

from HIV/AIDS posters. The response of the participants was beyond expectation. We
believe that, this attempt might be the first in the world on the subject – “Aids & Human
Future in 21st Century”, with the consent of UNAIDS. (Project consent of UNAIDS –
10th January 2000) https://plus.google.com/110635859322176337972
In this connection, he conducted competition and picture exhibitions at various
places. A poster exhibition and painting competition was conducted on 25th November
2005 at St. Mary‟s Higher Secondary School Pattom, Trivandrum on the subject of
HIV/AIDS and students of this school who got inspiration from the posters drawn
impressive pictures. Again, at the same school, he conducted a quiz competition among
the students on the subject, HIV/AIDS, on 30th November 2005. It was done in a very
scientific manner. In association with various cultural organizations. He was able to
conduct a number of awareness programs through quiz/painting competitions.
On March 31, 2007, he conducted quiz and painting competition for the students
of Church of South India Poor Home for Girls (Balika Mandiram) at Parassala. Along
with this a separate quiz competition was organized for the parents of children. During
this year‟s Onam celebrations(state festival of Kerala) we conducted quiz and painting
competitions for the children between the age 5 to 50 on 29th and 30th August 2007 in
association with the Kerala‟s leading newspaper Malayala Manorama Balajana Sakhyam
at Neyyattinkara on the subject of HIV/AIDS. The concluding functions of this program
were at the Venus School of Arts on 2nd October 2007, the birth anniversary of
Mahathma Gandhi. Artist and Colonel (Rtd. Indian Army) V.P.K.Nair distributed prizes
to the winners. https://skydrive.live.com/RajaRamakrishnan
Due to the heavy financial burden, continuation of this project became very
difficult. In this locality Venus School of Arts is known as the educational institution
which conducts awareness programs on the subject about AIDS. Because of this we do
not have many arts students. And this creates grave financial crunch. Since 1997 single
handedly this arts educational institution fought against HIV/AIDS. But so far we did not
received any assistance either from the government, individuals or organizations for this
project.
On January 10, 2000, (Ref: Education/HIV/AIDS world contest/UN/UNAIDS/Jan
10,2000) we forwarded letters to world bodies such as United Nations, UNAIDS etc. In
these letters, we proposed to conduct postal contests with the participations of all
countries on the subject of HIV/AIDS and the enrolment fees thus collected to be spend

for opening rehabilitation centers for severely AIDS affected in the respective countries
by the country offices of UNAIDS.http://flickr.com/photos/venusraja
As a humanist artist, he believes that preservation of the earth in which we live
and to create universal brotherhood and peace in the entire world is one of his utmost
duties wish to conduct this online contest through his website: www.venusarts.org.
(https://venus arts and charity.blogspot.com,)Shortly he proposes to conduct such
contests for the students and youngsters who belong in the age group of 10 to 25 all the
countries in the world. By this he believes that the young generation will get awareness
about this acute problem. Mr. Raja through artistic creations and social service, he
believes that he would be able to achieve his long cherished dream.
As a humble step, Mr. Raja already started works to enlighten the young
generation in the age group of 10 – 25 about the dangers of HIV/AIDS. Getting
inspiration from posters students of the above the age group painted pictures. In the
beginning at specially organized work shops some guardians expressed their doubts that
their children are not aware of this particular subject. So how could draw picture on the
dreadful disease HIV/AIDS, they asked. They requested Mr. Raja to give their children
some other topics. But he was firm his decision and told them that seeing the posters
related to HIV/AIDS the children would be able to complete their paintings and as
expected the children did well. http://www.facebook.com/Raja.Ramakrishnan1
His objective is not just to create awareness, but also to rehabilitate the millions of
mainly AIDS affected victims. For to achieve this goal it is necessary to establish
rehabilitation centers in all states in India and other countries through UNAIDS country
offices in each nation. http://in.linkedin.com/pub/rajaramakrishnan/45/896/1b
With the HIV/AIDS awareness program for the children and youngsters Mr.
Raja‟s chief motive is to open rehabilitation centers for severely AIDS affected in every
country. In order to collect fund he likes to introduce an enrolment fee from the
participants of this postal and venue contest. There will be competitions in quiz and
painting. http://t.co/0/Ct1eqUvia@slideshare
In his point of view, he notes that many of the school and college children are the
victim of HIV/AIDS. Most of them, do not know what is the after effect and consequence
of HIV/AIDS. In schools, there is no syllabus in their studies about AIDS. He conducted
several HIV/AIDS quiz and painting competitions in schools, colleges and other
educational institutions. The authorities of the educational institutions told him that it is
effective in both students and them. The attempt was first in our country.

Mr. Raja’s next step is to conduct a statewide and then country wide and
world wide online contest on the same topic. He could not obtain any fund for his
venture until now. So he could not take up this project world wide. Due to this he
could not give necessary advertisement in the media. This is why from 1998; he
couldn’t conduct this competition in India and other countries of the UN. To take
measures in order to create awareness about the dangers of AIDS, this art
educational institute trying to get the help of sponsors who can help it to give
advertisement in media all over the world.

He conduct this postal / venue contest for two things. His first preference is make
awareness in children and youngsters up to 25 years and the second aim is to find funds
to open rehabilitation centers for severely AIDS affected persons in 193 countries which
are the members of the UN. https://google reader/RajaRamakrishnan

Many people asked him that, “Why he is fighting against HIV/AIDS and
creates awareness among children in schools”. It is due to a touching story – in
Vellayani a place near Kovalam beach near Trivandrum, Kerala, India – a poor
window and her 5 years old son are the victims of the attitude of the society towards
the relatives of the HIV/AIDS patients. This widow and her son were infected by her
dead husband. There is no one to give them a helping hand. The neighbors isolated
them. In school the authorities refused admission to the child. Even the hair dresser
hesitates to cut the hair of the boy. The people look at him as a monster. Thus, the
little boy sans friends, sans shelter, sans education etc. this is a simple example of
many who are leading a living death. Envisioning this, Mr. Raja decided to do from
April 6-11,1998 about HIV/AIDS awareness program among school children.
He witnessed many such incidents since 1995. That was his guiding force behind
the formation of „Venus Arts Painting Club‟ – Artist and Non – Artist members with
Charitable activities He worked for the formation of the club from 1995 and it was
completed in March 1998, and it got registration as a charitable organization from the
Government of Kerala in July 1998.

VENUS SCHOOL OF ARTS NEYYATTINKARA, TRIVANDRUM,
SCHOOL FOR DISABLED CHILDREN AND POOR, Pin: 695121
(Inviting Sponsors)

I am planning to impart training in painting, graphics, animation, multimedia
mobile phone technology, training in electronics components making computer net
working ,maintenance course and other job oriented training to the physically
handicapped students by giving them food, accommodation and wages on the basis of
their work.
We gave training to the handicapped children in drawing and painting free of
cost, home tuition for poor students of handicapped children. We were forced to stop
these trainings because of the financial crunch, now we are giving training in the Church
of South India Diocese, Balika Mandiram – Boarding Home for the Poor Girls at
Cheruvarakonam, Parassala etc. For the fulfillment of this project, we have to buy and
construct a building for the uplifting of handicapped children and youth with boarding
facilities. http://medicsintex.net/RajaRamakrishnan
Venus Arts Institute is an educational institution approved and recognized by
government of Kerala, India. It is being run in accordance with the rules laid down by the
government. We are getting a grant in aid of Rs. 600/- (12 dollars) per month. 3 teachers
are working in this institution. This amount is not sufficient to pay the teachers and other
staff their salary is Rs. 7000/- per month (other expenses, including expenses nearly 250/-
dollars per month). Thus it is very clear that the grant is grossly inadequate to make the
expenses.
Most of the students are from very poor sections. They are not in a position to pay
their monthly tuition fee regularly. In most cases, the arrears are long over due. Hence the
institution is in financial difficulty. We are not able to pay the teachers their salary in
time.
In the filed of animation multimedia and graphics, art and painting are infinite,
especially, in the field of business and commerce. The offers in painting became a costly
affair because of the rise in prices of raw painting materials. So, poor students are

constrained to go for work with my permission to earn money to buy paints, canvas and
brushes etc. We have requested to the government to raise the teaching grant from Rs.
300 to 1500 for each teacher. In addition to these expenses, there are sundry expenses
like building rent, salary to non – teaching staff and other incidental expenses.
If there is sponsors to pay salary to our staff and the tuition fee to the poor
students it will be a great blessing. http://myspace.com/575227343/photo

HIV/AIDS Most people in the world are unaware of this mortal disease,
especially, among children and youngsters. I planed to conduct a world contest in school
and college level.
DECEMBER 1ST IS WORLD AIDS DAY. Since 1988 until in India, especially in
Kerala, organizations for this purpose. I noticed how some organizations, On December
1st, some of them organized functions, running competitions and a group of people
walking with red ribbon tying on their neck and called “Aids walk”
HIV/AIDS-the dreadful disease….we should prepare to vanish, VENUS is
voluntarily fought against in the way of educational awareness in display of posters,
painting and quiz competitions for children and youngsters from April 6 to 11,1998.It
may be the first attempt an artistic community voluntarily conducting…. of first of its
this kind in the world.
Getting inspiration from posters, students above the age of 10 up to 25painted
their own pictures. Thus the young generation will get awareness about this acute
problem through artistic creations and social service.
,Sponsors should be enlisted to generate country wide awareness in every nation,
against HIV/AIDS. Postal (Media‟s) and through our online site contest. Venue contest
may also be held for the children and youngsters between the age group of 10-25. It
works for the existence of Universal Brotherhood, world peace and Protection of
Nature.
If we obtain sponsors for conducting this postal contest against HIV/AIDS,
and thus after conducting the contests, we could collect the enrolment fee from the
participants in each nation, for opening rehabilitation centers for severely AIDS
affected in the same nation, under the auspices of UNAIDS country office. This is
our project, and this is a noble mission.

VENUS ARTS PAINTING CLUB
PROSPECTUS
AIMS & OBJECTIVES
To promote art and painting, work for the betterment of humanity, save the
nature (flora and fauna).
Its style of functioning and details relating to membership.
Category (i) Artist membership
Category (ii) Non-Artist membership

Artist Membership
To some people painting is a hobby. But to most people, it is both a hobby and
means of livelihood. They can buy paint and canvas only if their paintings are sold at a
reasonable price. To them it is a question of survival. These two categories of painters
should have a common forum for interaction and display of their works. Venus Arts
Painting Club offers them such a forum.
Venus Arts Painting Club C/o Venus Arts Institute plans to open branches all over
the world. We under took the exhibition of painting through our various branches in India
and aboard and the works of painters who want their works to be sold will be sold and
other will duly be sent back to the parties. A small portion of the sale proceeds will be
earmarked for the club and for the uplift of the disabled and derelicts.

Non – Artist Membership
To lend a helping hand to the destitute and the needy and to work for the
preservation of nature and the conservation of the flora and fauna.
People who are interested in selfless and dedicated work for the uplift of
humanity and people who love nature intensely can aspire to become members of this
painting club. That is what Venus Arts Painting Club aims at – Venus Arts Painting Club
will function at home and abroad with special emphasis on man‟s primary needs like
food, clothe and shelter.
Venus Arts Painting Club is engaged in combating HIV/AIDS, Terrorism,
Alcoholism and the use of harmful drugs. Preservation of Nature is also on the agenda of
this club. Atrocities committed by men on women, atrocities committed by women on

men, cruelty to old people and children etc…. also come within the sphere of its activity.
Giving free legal and medical aid to the needy people is one of the important aims of the
club.
Many numbers of organizations working among artists and painters in India is by
no means small. But they exist for furthering their own interests. They do practically no
charitable or humanitarian work. It is here that Venus Arts Painting Club stands apart
from other organizations and clubs. It aims at bettering the lot of humanity and promoting
art simultaneously. This is the first of its kind in India, since 1998. Hence the purposeful
co – operation and unstinted support from all the members is solicited.
All the members of this club have to donate their eyes after death. (But those who
cannot donate their organs on grounds of religion will not be compelled to do so.) Can we
live at least for one hour with our yes closed? No we can‟t live without enjoying the
beauty of nature. Then think about the sad fate of the people who are condemned to live
without eyes throughout their lives. How miserable our existence will be if such a lot
comes to us.
According to Hindu rites, the dead bodies are burnt to ashes. Others like the
Muslims and Christians simply bury their dead bodies. Thus their most valuable eyes,
which can otherwise to give light to the eyeless, become mingled with the dust and soil.
This shows our unwillingness to serve others without harming ourselves. This club
undertakes to help the indigent and physically handicapped and helps the indigent
patients by supplying them costly medicines free of cost.

a painting teacher in 1987 after completion of the course of graduation on Bachelor of
commerce. He took charge and the ownership of the Venus Arts Institute in 1988. Since

added charity work side by side with art. He has given shape to some schemes for helping
the poor, disabled and derelict. That is why he founded – “Venus Arts Painting Club” –
An artist and non-Artist charitable organization. Promoting art and painting is not the
sole motto of Venus Arts Painting Club, subsidiary of Venus Arts Institute. On the other

NATURE & AGRICULTURE IN OUR PRESENT DAYS

The Reckless and indiscriminate use of fertilizers and chemicals in man’s
efforts to produce more, has resulted in making the land barren and unproductive.
Air, water, land and food have been contaminated and polluted to a great extent.
When earth became barren, new gimmicks like cloning and bonsai are being introduced.

The possibilities of bio – technology may be infinite. But we should guard ourselves
against the dangers inherent in such techniques.
Man has started to realize the damage down to the nature. One of the reasons for
the agricultural failure is the use of high yielding varieties of seeds. Man has been made
to discard the time tested varieties of seeds and species of plants with greater powers of
resistance. The newly developed seeds and hybrid plants call for more care and attention
from man. Chemicals and fertilizers have to be applied for this.
The fertility of the soil is being used up at an alarming speed, leaving the land
barren. Some of these high yielding plants do not sprout or grow at all because of the
over doss of pesticides and chemicals. Some plants are short lived. We have to buy at
exorbitant prices our old variety of seeds from the multinationals who keep them in
“Gene banks”.
We have to use highly potent pesticides since these variety of seeds have no
power of resistance. In India 40,000 people die and 35 million people get contaminated
every year due to the ill effects of pesticides. The W.H.O. points out that food contains
50% of the remnants of pesticides which is more than the permitted 30%.
Fertilizers and chemicals destroy not only the harmful insects and worms but also
the useful ones. The reckless use of fertilizers and pesticides has robbed the soil of its
bio–fertility and also destroyed the highly useful worms. Even butterflies, fish and bees
are hit hard by the use of pesticides and fertilizers. Flies do not come to these
contaminated flowers. Agricultural production has comedown as a result of this. Fish and
bees are pestilence stricken. Even the insect eating frogs have disappeared from the
scene.
The unscientific methods of cultivation lead to soil erosion and also fills the
reservoirs and dams with soil, thus reducing the containing capacity of them. The earth is
rendered useless for cultivation due to denudation of the soil. The trees like Eucalyptus
and Accasia do un tolled damage to the earth by sucking the water content in the soil,
thus transforming the earth into a desert. The artificial manures increase the acidity of the
soil and water content.
People are exposed to many kinds of diseases due to pollution of air, water, food
and agricultural products. When compared with the huge amounts of money required for
the treatment of this disease, we can see that the modern agriculture is a big failure.
Agriculture is an activity directed against consumerism. Malnutrition and poverty
are the direct outcome of modern agriculture. Many fatal diseases are broke out. Cancer,

blood pressure, diabetics and heart disease are on the increase. Compost and dried leaves
add to the fertility of the soil, retains the water content and enhances the flavor and
quality of the food.
The traditional methods of cultivation on the other hand maintenance
Biodiversity, Ecology, Preservation of water and enrichment of the soil. The existence of
the coming generation depends largely upon the way in which we conserve the water
resources, soil with the animal population and plant life. It is not the polluted earth with
all its ills that should be handed down to the next generation.
Above all there is fundamentalism, color prejudice, terrorism, militancy and other
nefarious activities. Atrocities by man against his own brothers are common. This state
of affairs should go. We should treat all like our brothers. I gave shape to Venus Arts
Painting club with the humble aim of creating peace on earth and goodwill towards men.
Any nation can make boundaries on the earth, nut no nation can make boundaries
over the sea, sky or the space. We should rise above the petty considerations of
nationalism, caste, color and creed. Doing well to others should be our motto. We should
shed all selfishness and narrow mindedness and ensure a safe place for man on earth. We
are committed to the preservation and conservation of nature with all men and animals.

Sincerely
Raja Ramakrishnan
