Ghatkopar quiz adventure for BY
On October 7th, 2023, the students of Bhavishya Yaan at NMJ had an exciting outing.
Their destination was Ghatkopar, where they participated in a quiz competition on Indian heritage and culture, organised by “Joy of giving.” The total number of students in attendance was 18, divided into 6 groups of 3 students each, as required by the organisers. Participants were selected from classes 7, 8, 9, and 10.
The students from these classes eagerly participated in the competition which was interschool, and is an annual event held at various locations, including Mumbai, Bangalore, and Chennai, among others. This year, nearly 500 students from various private, public, and government schools took part.
The enthusiasm of our NMJ students was evident. They were accompanied by Jaya ma’am, Kiran Miss, and Lima Miss.
Upon arrival, the students had to complete a registration process before settling in the spacious air-conditioned auditorium. The quiz competition commenced at 9.45 am, starting with the preliminary round. In this round, all the students had to write their answers on the provided sheets in response to 25 questions displayed on the screen and read out by the quiz master.
Following the preliminary round, six groups were shortlisted to participate in the final seven buzzer rounds. These finalists took their seats on the stage. The audience also had the chance to participate as the 7th group if the selected group failed to answer.
The questions in this competition, aptly named “Puranava – Ancient Wisdom in Modern Times,” covered a wide range of topics, including Indian history, culture, art, tradition, mythology, and famous Indian personalities.
The event concluded with the chief guest presenting prizes to the winners and runners-up. Although NMJ students didn’t make it to the final round, they gained valuable knowledge and returned with certificates of participation to boost their confidence.
During the break, the organisers provided refreshments and, after a morning filled with learning, it was time to return. On their way back, they were treated to a McDonald’s meal.
The students returned to school by 2 and, overall, it was an enriching experience for both them and their accompanying teachers. Thanks to PP Ramesh Narayan for consistently identifying and providing such interesting opportunities for BY students. Many students expressed their inspiration to participate again and aim for the final round in the future.
