Registrations are open and invited from class 6 to 12 students for the Tata Building India School Essay Competition 2024. The last date for submission of entries is July 15, 2024.
The Tata Building India School Essay Competition is one of the key initiatives undertaken by the Tata Group to ignite the imagination of the young, to instill a sense of pride and spirit of nation building in India’s youth.
For over a decade now, the Tata Group has engaged with young minds to help them think in a positive direction. The essay competition provides a unique platform to encourage young leaders of tomorrow to showcase their expressions in writing on a host of national and social issues.
Every year, school students from over 400+ cities participate and write in more than 10 languages. Over the last 15 years, the Tata Building India School Essay Competition has touched nearly 30 million students.
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, students are asked a few questions based on the films.
Thereafter, the students are requested to write an essay on a given topic of national significance. To ensure a level playing field, the students are divided into 2 participating categories across all languages (Junior – Classes 6th – 8th and Senior – Classes 9th – 12th).
The underlying theme/topic is always about nation-building. The topics are carefully chosen for students to be both creative and insightful.
Interested candidates/schools can register using this page.
Note: There is no entry or registration fee.
