ART INTEGRATED PROJECT: EK BHARAT SHRESHTH BHARAT

“…if you go back to your roots, if you mine that inner territory, you can bring out something that

is indelibly you and authentic-”

Some long forgotten home remedies and natural and organic products have been replaced by the

artificially produced food products or by chemically processed procedures; which have resulted

in deteriorating health conditions of the masses. In SIKKIM there are several companies

successfully flourishing in the market to promote health and wellness through the realms of

Ayurveda, natural home remedies or by producing goods using organic substances. This summer

vacation let us explore some of these products and become entrepreneurs by conceiving or

creating a brand of our own.

Research about any of the stores or organisations in SIKKIM supplying organic/ natural products

and find out products available for body care, dental care, medicine, hair care and wellness

products that can increase your immunity.

Design a BROCHURE (three folds/ 6 sides OR or 6 slides of PPT) for your OWN BRAND (conceived

and created by you) thereby informing/promoting about the various products available/

manufactured by your company. Design a logo; create a brand name; choose colour theme;

create a slogan which reflects the ethics of your brand; mention the uses/ benefits of your

products, target audience, marketing strategies, as well as ingredients and method of

manufacturing. Remember to use the terms, names, places related to SIKKIM. You may use

words of their local dialect for writing a slogan and for choosing a brand name and logo.
