[ Prem Chetry ]<\/strong><\/p>\n \n TAWANG, 14 Mar:<\/strong> Lobsang Wangchu, a promising fine art student from Arunachal Pradesh, shone at the Association of Indian Universities’ 39th Inter-University National Youth Festival 2025-26, hosted by Satyabhama University under the aegis of the Association of Indian Universities in Chennai on Friday.<\/p>\n Wangchu, from Tawang, is a fourth-year bachelor of fine arts (honours in sculpture) student at Royal Global University, Guwahati. He had earlier secured third place at the Northeast Zonal Inter-University Competition, held in February, at Assam Don Bosco University, Sonapur, Guwahati, in February.<\/p>\n “I did not have any hope of winning; I did not even attend the award ceremony. I was surprised to hear my name announced in the second position, where students from various colleges and universities across the country had participated,” he said.<\/p>\n Inspired by his father, he said, “I am thankful to my parents for supporting my hobby, which is now paving the way for my career. I am especially grateful to my father, who helped me achieve this feat at an early age.”<\/p>\n This year, the theme for the national-level clay modelling competition was ‘Love’. Wangchu skillfully portrayed a mother with a child in her embryo, depicting the care and attachment she has for her child despite all pains and sufferings.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, his father, Phun Tsering, said that his son’s dedication and sincerity towards his chosen field are now paying off.<\/p>\n “I wish he achieves even more success in his future endeavours,” he said.<\/p>\n Tsering, a state awardee, is also a popular sculptor, painter, and artist specialising in Buddhist art and architecture. Both father and son had accomplished the sacred task of mummifying a highly learned Buddhist monk, Geshe Lobsang Tsultrim, at a monastery in Leh, Ladakh, in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [ Prem Chetry ] TAWANG, 14 Mar: Lobsang Wangchu, a promising fine art student from Arunachal Pradesh, shone at the Association of Indian Universities’ 39th Inter-University National Youth Festival 2025-26, hosted by Satyabhama University under the aegis of the Association of Indian Universities in Chennai on Friday.
