He urged the artists to respect the sentiments of other communities and a sense of harmony should be prevailed in their paintings.

In his Key Note Address, Professor S.P. Verma said that there is a need to rewon an understanding of the art of India. In our times, numerous modern artists are working with full awareness to share the 'original talent' and art growth of a tradition reaching back to ancient times.
