The National Human Rights Commission, as part of its Foundation Day celebrations, organized a painting competition for the children of its officers and staff on the 8th October, 2016. The children, in the three age groups of 5-8, 8-13 and 13-17 years, were given three different themes to paint on. These were 'My School', 'Home for Everyone' and 'Care for the Aged' respectively.

They included those who scored more than 90% marks in their class 10th and 12th Exams. For the first time, a singing competition was also organised for the NHRC's employees to reward the best male and female singer.
