Not limiting himself to religious themes, Bijay Kumar Reddy has also delved into the realm of social awareness through his art. In a distinctive initiative, he sculpted a 2.5cm tall idol of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, highlighting the Swachh Abhiyan. "I have made chalk art on the occasion of Pran Pratistha. I have made this inspired by the statue of Lord Ram that has been established in the Mandir. The height of this chalk art is three centimetre and it took me a day to make it. PM Modi kickstarted a cleanliness drive throughout the country, and more recently in temples, thus, PM Modi being the first servant of the country, I have shown him cleaning," Bijay Kumar Reddy said while speaking to ANI.
His remarkable talent and contributions have garnered him numerous accolades, including an appreciation letter from Prime Minister Modi and the Vice President of India. This recognition further solidifies Reddy's position as a young artist making significant strides in the world of chalk art.
