S. University Baroda, was among the international children's drawing competition sponsored by UNICEF at Paris." Subsequent, Amita's wining design on the themes "springtime Festivties", won the final selection for the UNICEF In India commemration stamp issued in 1974 to celebrate the twenty- fifth Anniversary of UNICEF. Amita continued her education and interest in art by completing her Bachelor of Arts at the M. S. University, Baroda, India.
