The Government of India has launched a special initiative in the form of ‘Bharat Ko Janiye Quiz’ (Know India Quiz) to generate interest among the youth, both NRI and PIO to know and understand India.
The quiz will be open for overseas Indian youth between the age group of 18-35 years. There will be separate categories for NRIs and PIOs.
The first round of the quiz will be held in New Zealand sometime in May 2018. The second round would be an online quiz conducted by Ministry of External Affairs, New Delhi. The third and fourth rounds (Semi-Final and Final round) will be conducted in New Delhi.
Three winners from each of the NRI and PIO category in the first found conducted in a particular country will move to the subsequent rounds. All participants who make it to the third and fourth round will be invited to India and besides the quiz, they would participate in a 15-day tour of India.
The top three winners of the final round will be honoured and receive special awards at the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas Convention 2019.
As an initial exercise, interested persons in the age category of 18-35 can send, on an immediate basis, to the High Commission their name, mobile no., email id, date birth, category (PIO or NRI) and one scanned document confirming age at hc.wellington@mea.gov.in and com.wellington@mea.gov.in.
