Telangana’s Eco-Friendly Ganesh Festival Quiz with Rs 10 Lakh Prizes
The Telangana State Pollution Control Board (TSPCB) has taken a proactive step towards promoting eco-friendly practices during the Ganesh festival by launching an exciting quiz competition for students across the state. This initiative aims to raise awareness about the significance of using environmentally friendly idols and practices during the festive season. With a total prize pool of Rs 10 lakh available in each district, this competition provides a strong incentive for students to participate and contribute to a greener and more sustainable celebration of the Ganesh festival.
The primary objective of this quiz competition is to encourage students to think critically about their cultural practices and their impact on the environment. The Ganesh festival is a significant cultural event in Telangana, and it often involves the immersion of idols made from non-biodegradable materials into water bodies. This practice can lead to pollution and harm aquatic ecosystems. By promoting eco-friendly idols and practices, the TSPCB hopes to mitigate these negative environmental consequences.
The competition is open to students from all districts of Telangana, making it an inclusive initiative that can reach a wide audience. To further incentivize participation, the TSPCB has allocated attractive cash prizes for the top three performers in each district. The first-place winner will receive Rs 10,000, the second-place winner will receive Rs 5,000, and the third-place winner will receive Rs 3,000. These cash rewards provide a tangible benefit for students while also recognizing and celebrating their efforts to promote environmental consciousness.
In addition to the cash prizes, participants will also receive e-certificates, which can serve as valuable credentials and acknowledgments of their participation in this eco-friendly Ganesh festival quiz. These certificates can be included in resumes and academic portfolios, showcasing a commitment to environmental awareness and sustainable practices.
The timeline for participation in this quiz spans from September 1 to September 30, ensuring that students have ample time to register and prepare. The quiz can be accessed through the official website of the TSPCB, www.tspcb.cgg.gov.in making it easily accessible to interested individuals.
