Pramod Kamble

Pramod Kamble (born 11 August 1964) is an Indian artist, painter, and sculptor. He promotes eco-friendly idols with NGOs creating Ganapatis made of clay and painted in natural colours for a safer festival. He conducts classes on making such eco-friendly idols during Ganesh Chaturthi.

Kamble was born in 1964 into a family of artists. His father was a known watercolour artist and the principal of an art institute. He won the National Talent Scholarship for sculpture in the 7th standard of his school. He did his Foundation course and Art Teacher Diploma in Pragat Kala Mahavidyalaya, Ahmednagar, before joining Sir JJ School of Arts, Mumbai.

During calamities, he has collected donations from people by sketching them on the streets of Ahmednagar and donating the proceeds to relief funds for the Latur earthquake, Gujarat earthquake, and Kargil War respectively.

He encourages the idea of a clay idol to be installed in every house during the Ganapati festival and conducts workshops for making clay Ganapati idols. He promotes idols of clay instead of Plaster of Paris, which are not easy to dissolve in water. He has taken many workshops in the schools and colleges of Ahmednagar. In Mumbai, since the height of Ganesh idols is high, he suggests using fibreglass idols instead of plaster of Paris. His wife Swati, supports him in this initiative.

A large pencil drawing "Sare Jahan Se Achcha" – 70 ft. by 20 ft. in dimension was drawn by Kamble. The project started in the year 1996 and was completed on the eve of Independence of 1997. It commemorates the Nation on the occasion of 50 years of Independence on the specially prepared wall of Mahavir Art Gallery in Ahmednagar. This drawing portrays Bharat Mata and almost 500 notable people including sages, deities, freedom fighters, Bharat Ratna awardees, Dadasaheb Phalke awardees, GyanPeeth awardees, Param Vir Chakra recipients and the masters in various fields of life that includes sports-persons, musicians, dancers, painters, theatre personalities, singers, social activists and industrialists.
