In a quiz event on life & work of Mahatma Gandhi held at Paanchajanya Centre today, Akanksha Misha and Sonakshi Kumari, of Govt Plus Two School Hariharpur, won the first prize of Rs 7,000/-. Sixteen other students of Darbhanga Dt won other prizes of Rs 13,000/-
The event held every year on 02 Oct by Paanchajanya P C Trust (Regd.) was sponsored this year by the Jairaj Family of Chennai. In all, 57 selected students, including 27 girls, took part. Totally, 18 students were given prizes, given away by Mithilesh Mahaseth, a young entrepreneur of Mithilanchal.
In all, 12 institutions, including three colleges of Darbhanga, sent their teams.
The first prize of Rs 7,000/- was divided between two students of +2 Govt School, Hariharpur. They had 14/32, about 40%, one for each correct answer. The 2nd prize of Rs 3,000/- went to one with 13/32; the 3rd prize of Rs 2,000/- each went to three students with 12/32. The sixth prize of Rs 200/- each was given to six students with 08/32.
Though the portion of the autobiography of Gandhiji quizzed had been known for a year, over a dozen students got 0/32, and many more could not get more than one or two/32. Our students must learn more than what is taught in the classroom. Yet we are all appreciative of these students & wish them well!!
