22-11-2011 : Kissan India’s favourite household brand for jams, squashes and tomato ketchups, created a new record on November 14th, 2011, and gained entry into the Limca Book of Records.

Kissan was responsible for creating India’s largest ‘Jammy Art’, which was prepared by 50 enthusiastic children in a span of just two hours. The art work, measuring 120 feet x 4 feet, was created with jam and bread, at the Bombay Exhibition Centre ,NSE Complex in Goregaon, Mumbai.

Harpreet Singh Tibb, General Manager – Packaged Foods said, “Jammy Art was an innovative attempt to let kids’ imagination run wild with foods. The event allowed children to showcase their creativity using an interesting mix of food and jams in many art forms such as painting, clay modeling, origami among others. Entering the Limca Book of Records with the creation of the ‘largest jammy art’ is a huge milestone for Kissan as a brand”

Participants were given four themes to choose from, with each theme being active for a period of fifteen days. At the end of the online campaign the top 50 entries, were selected from across the country on the basis of the number of votes received online. The winners were then flown to Mumbai with their parents for the grand final event.
