Professional Achievements

During her short stint in the State in Jammu & Kashmir as Principal Commissioner of Income Tax the department produced remarkable results. Four new income tax offices at moffusil stations were opened at Katra, Samba, Baramulla and Rajouri and were made operational. Her tremendous efforts for widening and deepening of tax base at all levels finally bore fruits and resulted in addition of substantial new tax payers.

Apart from a successful bureaucrat during her career, Sangeeta Gupta is known for her love for poetry and Abstract Art.

For her, abstract art is a means to reach the non-objective experiences that help shape the inner life. It is a witness to the fact that man's spiritual needs do not disappear even in times engulfed by gross materialism. She strives to express the poetic vision in her works. Keeping in view her strong passion for painting and writing, one may think, what about her professional achievements as a Revenue officer. But the fact is that she has earned distinctions in different fields like art, literature, film making and civil services.

Social pursuits

In the year 1995 she held her first solo exhibition at Birla Academy of Art & Culture, Kolkata, which was inaugurated by none other than Mother Teresa. The entire sale proceeds of this show were donated to CRY for building up an educational centre for poor children in sub urban part of Kolkata.

The fund of Rs.20 lakh raised through the sale proceeds of her paintings has been used for creating a Fine Art Education Grant for the fine arts students of Uttarakhand.

She is promoting Art and Culture through Prithvi Fine Art & Culture Centre, a charitable society of Delhi.

Sangeeta Says "In this series of works I have tried to remind people of my country, India to take pride in our heritage. Khadi and Neel are our very own since ages. Our block printing technique is our own age-old way of chhapakala which is now becoming extinct. Machine has made everything so mechanical and impersonal. I just wanted to give some new, abstract idioms to our chhapakala which may be refreshing and contemporary.

I have also painted Sanskrit text on some paintings to quote Aadi Shankaracharya specially his Shivoham stotra and Ardhnarinateshwar stotra.

All this has never been executed by any other artist as far as I know."
