Review: "Bharath Ko Jano" Quiz Programme, 2026

Organizer: Bharath Vikas Parishath
Date and time: Sunday, 25 October 2026, 10:00 am to 4:30 pm
Venue: Vijayanagar Law College, Anantapur
Participants: School children at Junior and Senior levels

 

Bharath Vikas Parishath organized the Bharath Ko Jano quiz programme for school children of Junior and Senior levels. I was invited to conduct it as quiz master by Sri Namsev Harikrishna, whom I have known since my college days, and Sri Sunku Venugopal. This was the fourth consecutive year in which I had the privilege of serving as quiz master for this programme.

Six teams took part at the Senior level and five at the Junior level. I prepared 64 questions for each level. The questions were presented in PowerPoint mode, so every team could read each question clearly and follow the proceedings. The answers were discussed at the end of the quiz, which gave the students a chance to learn the correct answers and clear their doubts. Mr Apramey acted as scorer and kept the scoring accurate and transparent.

• Senior level: The Kurnool team was declared the winner.
• Junior level: The Anantapur team was declared the winner.

The students from every participating team showed enthusiasm, good general awareness and a healthy competitive spirit

Sri Korada Ramakrishna sir coordinated the event meticulously, and the programme ran smoothly and on schedule. Breakfast and lunch were sumptuous, and the participants and guests were well looked after.

In the post-lunch session, the winners and all participants were felicitated with mementoes and certificates. The programme ended with the national anthem.

The programme was a rewarding experience. It encouraged students to read widely and think about India's culture, heritage and current affairs. My thanks to Bharath Vikas Parishath, the invitees, the coordinator, the scorer, the participating teams and their teachers for making the event a success. I look forward to being part of it again next year.
