New Delhi, September 10, 2015: After a successful launch in 2014, DK India’s The DK Quiz is back this year – bigger and better! In association with Quizcraft Global and Eureka Books, this exciting school-level knowledge programme involves students of 45 schools of the Delhi-NCR region. The DK Quiz is hosted by Adittya Mubayi, one of India’s top quizzers who represented India at the World Masters Quiz in Liverpool, UK. The winning student team from each school round will receive book awards and battle it out in the inter-school Grand Finale. The Grand Finale will be held at Sai Auditorium on October 12, 2015, and the grand winners will be awarded books worth Rs.40,000.
Aparna Sharma, Managing Director, DK India, commented on the DK Quiz 2015, “We want to provide a platform to the students to demonstrate their knowledge beyond just textbooks. The DK Quiz promotes curiosity, excitement, and the spirit of innovation and exploration amongst school children in areas as diverse as science, nature, and popular culture. We’re thrilled to connect with our younger readers and the excitement and enthusiasm among the participants is unbelievable! This year definitely promises to be a mega-event.”
Designed to educate and evaluate students, The DK Quiz gives children the opportunity to learn and demonstrate their knowledge across various subjects beyond their prescribed textbooks. Another unique feature is the inclusive format of the quiz. Instead of asking schools to handpick teams, Quizcraft teams are conducting extensive multi-format quizzes in the school premises itself, thereby bringing in more students into the fold. Children are also exposed to the exciting world of competitive quizzing, leading to overall personality development and boosting confidence levels.
The first school round of The DK Quiz 2015 was held in Army Public School, Shankar Vihar. They were also the winners of The DK Quiz 2014. This year too, there are a number of renowned schools participating such as Shikshantar School, Gurgaon; The Shriram Millennium School, Noida; Shiv Nadar School, Gurgaon; Delhi Public School, RK Puram; Heritage School, Vasant Kunj; Modern School, Barakhamba Road; among many others.
