EAM Jaishankar launches 'Bharat ko Jaaniye Quiz' for diaspora members

ANI Monday, November 11, 2024

External Affairs Minister, S Jaishankar on Monday launched the 5th 'Bharat ko Jaaniye Quiz' through a video message.

He said that the quiz is an endeavour of the government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to deepen the connection with our diaspora and to engage with all those who are keen to learn about India.

He said, "It (Quiz) affords an opportunity for people to explore India in a meaningful way, learning about its culture, ethos, history, achievements and even aspirations".

Jaishankar added, "This online quiz is open to members of the Indian diaspora and to foreigners. 30 lucky winners will be invited by the Ministry of External Affairs for an immersive two-week tour of India. Come, participate in the quiz and join the incredible India journey".

In recent times, the Government of India has actively engaged in connecting the diaspora to their roots in India.

The Ministry of External Affairs has been undertaking various programs such as the Know India Programme, Global Pravasi Rishta Portal and the Pravasi Teerth Darshan Yojana.

Such initiatives help in establishing a three-way relationship between the Ministry of External Affairs, Indian Missions, and the Indian Diaspora.

According to the details shared by the Indian Embassy in France, the quiz is open to participants aged 14-50. The quiz has two categories namely one for the Non-Residential Indians (NRI) and one for Persons of Indian Origin (PIO).

Details were also shared on the social media handles of Indian embassies, consulates and high commissions.

These efforts are in line with PM Modi's call to foster deeper ties with the diaspora, whom he has often described as "living bridges".

The quiz can be taken on the website, www.bkjquiz.com

Reema Fathima Wednesday, November 13, 2024 This quiz of was a creative way to depend the understanding of India''s rich cultural heritage, history and current socio-political landscape it could serve as an educational tool for younger generations who may not be familiar with their Indian heritage due to being raised and born abroad. This quiz encourages participants to learn more about India, which can help reinforce a sense of national identity and pride, even among those leaving far apart from home. It fosters a connection to India, which can be particularly valuable for the second or third generation of Indian origin people who may not have direct exposure to the countries culture. Initiative like this can promote a shared sense of community. It also aligns with the border objectives of strengthening India''s global influence and image by involving it''s citizen overseas in initiative that promote national knowledge. This quiz format also demonstrate India''s ability to use technology to engage with it in an interactive manner. It can be a fun and accessible way for people to learn, while also Catering to a global audience. This quiz could pave the way for more such initiatives that combine learning, engagement and national pride. It could be part of a larger push to integrate it more actively in India culture, educational and developmental goals overall this quiz seems like a innovative initiative that can strengthen the bonds between the Indian government and the its diaspora more actively in India''s culture educational and developmental goals.
Abdul muiz Tuesday, November 12, 2024 The Quiz is a fun way for people outside India, including Indian-origin kids, to learn about India''s culture, history, and achievements. Those who do well can even win a chance to visit India. This quiz helps kids and adults connect with their roots and learn more about the country.

Sreyas Prasad Tuesday, November 12, 2024 Unity in diversity"-these are not just words, but something that are highly applicable to a country like India that is incredibly rich in culture and heritage. A few quotations or statements cannot describe the pedestal that India holds on to the world map because of its colourful and unique culture. From the times of Mauryas, Cholas and Mughals to the period of British Empire, India has always been famous for its traditions and hospitality.
