Registrations are open and invited from class 6 to 12 students for the Tata Building India School Essay Competition 2023-24. The last date for submission of entries is August 10, 2023.
About the Competition
The Tata Building India School Essay Competition is one of the key initiatives undertaken by the Tata Group to motivate the youth and foster the spirit of nation-building.
Now in its 16th edition, this is India’s largest and most prestigious school essay competition, with school students participating from 400+ cities, writing in more than 10 languages.
TCS iON – A division of Tata Consultancy Services, is responsible for executing the Tata Building India School Essay Competition across India.
Format
The essay competition is a two-phase activity across all the participating schools in the country for students of classes 6th – 12th. The first phase consists of showcasing inspirational Tata-linked films which hopefully stimulate young minds to think about the nation.
Following this, the students are asked to write an essay on a given topic of national significance. To ensure a level playing field, the students are divided into two participating categories across all languages (Junior classes – 6 to 8 and Senior – classes 9 to 12).
The essay, written only once by the students, is evaluated at the school level and thereafter winning school essays are evaluated by judges drawn from independent academic and literary circles at the city and national levels, in each language.
Eligibility Criteria
Only schools with a total of 100 or more students in standards from 6th to 12th are eligible to participate.
Rewards & Recognition
The winners are rewarded at each level and special functions are held to felicitate city-level winners and national-level winners. Prizes at the school level include certificates and medals. The city winners and the runners-up receive online gift vouchers, e-certificates, and e-medals.
The national-level winners receive online gift vouchers of significant value as the grand prize as also e-certificates and e-medals. The crowning moment for the national winners and the runners-up is the intended visit to the Rashtrapati Bhavan and a face-to-face meeting with a national dignitary.
