Artist Ravi & Smita Paranjape ChitraDiksha Scholarship
The ‘Artist Ravi & Smita Paranjape ChitraDiksha Scholarship’ was established by Mrs. Smita Ravi Paranjape in 2023 in honor of painter-illustrator the Late Shri. Ravi Paranjape’s legacy.
This scholarship is awarded to fine and applied arts students who demonstrate promise in advancing representational art, are willing to take risks and innovate, and exemplify dedication to their work. It encourages recipients to be part of a vibrant artistic community that values excellence without compromising principles.
A total of four annual scholarships are awarded as a token of appreciation for the student’s commitment, creativity, and hard work.
Currently, these scholarships are offered at the institutions with which Raviji was associated during his career span - Sir J.J. School of Design, Mumbai (formerly the J.J. Institute of Applied Art), the Bombay Art Society, Mumbai, and the Institute of Fine Arts (IFA), Modinagar.
