Pidilite Industries, a pioneer in adhesives and construction solutions and the name behind iconic brands like Fevicol, Fevikwik, and Fevicryl, proudly announced the winners of the Fevicreate Idea Labs 2025 Grand Finale — India’s only science-based national art and craft contest for school students. The event was broadcast on Sony TV and Sony YAY, bringing the creativity of young minds into homes across the country.
Fevicreate, a flagship initiative by Pidilite, is dedicated to promoting Art Integrated Learning as envisioned in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. With a mission to make learning more engaging and experiential, Fevicreate operates through three key pillars:
- Fevicreate School Connect Program – Reaching over 15,000 schools across India.
- Fevicreate Website & App – A digital hub offering 1000+ DIY art and craft activities for children, parents, and educators.
- Fevicreate DIY Kits – Hands-on kits designed to make learning fun, meaningful, and skill-oriented.
At the heart of this movement is Fevicreate Idea Labs, a one-of-a-kind national contest that blends science, sustainability, and creativity. This year’s theme, “Wonders of Nature,” inspired over 2.4 lakh students from 900 schools to craft innovative solutions to real-world environmental challenges —doubling the participation from last year, a testament to the growing popularity and national relevance of the competition.
The competition culminated in a spectacular finale judged by Mandira Bedi (Actor, Supermom, and Craft Enthusiast) and Nayantara Jain (Marine Biologist and Craft Advocate), and hosted by the charismatic Rithvik Dhanjani.
