Faridabad (Haryana) [India], November 19: Asian Hospital Faridabad successfully hosted the 15th Asian Drawing Competition 2025, a vibrant annual tradition that brings together young artists from across the region. The event provided a creative platform for children to express their imagination through art.
This year, 280 children from Noida, Delhi, Ghaziabad, and Faridabad participated, filling the hospital campus with colours, creativity, and enthusiastic energy.
