OU employee paints campus rocks, boulders to spread message

In a unique blend of art and environmental advocacy, an employee of Osmania University’s Dr. BR Ambedkar Memorial Library has been using his artistic skills to infuse a new life into the campus’s rocks and boulders.

With focus on environmental protection, E Venkanna has created about 140 paintings,



depicting animals, birds and forms of pollution, driving a message to save the water, trees, energy and earth.

With a passion for art and environmental activism, the 45-year-old university main library employee embarked on the project by painting a parrot-shaped rock near the Post Office on the campus.
