MBABANE - This trip will be awarded to 15 lucky winners who know India best.
This trip is part of the Indian Film festival which first premiered on Sunday at
the Movie Zone Cinemas. People who are interested in this all expenses paid trip
just have to visit the Bharat Ko Janiye (BKJ) online quiz which is back for its
5th edition this year and promises to be more exciting than ever. Scheduled to
run from November 11 to December 11, this unique initiative offers participants
the chance to win an all-expenses-paid, two-week trip to India. The BKJ quiz
aims to deepen participants’ understanding of India’s rich heritage,
history, culture, art and crafts. Lucky emaSwati can increase their chances of
winning this trip by attending the Indian Film Festival every Monday at the
Movie Zone cinema. The movies that are screened at the festival will help
participants gain more knowledge of the Indian culture.
The quiz is open to foreign nationals aged 14 to 50 and it is comprised of 30
multiple choice questions to be completed in just 16 to 17 minutes. There is no
negative marking for the quiz and participants can attempt the quiz as many
times as they wish with only their best score counting towards the final tally.
Registration is mandatory for eligible contestants and participants can take the
quiz from anywhere in the world during the competition period. The top 15
winners in each category will be invited to experience a remarkable journey
through India, commencing with the Pravasi Bharatiya Diwas (PBD) celebrations in
2025.
The Indian Commission Second Secretary, Sriram, urged emaSwati to participate in
this quiz. “This initiative not only aims to encourage knowledge about India
but also seeks to foster a sense of community among participants. The Government
of India will cover airfare and local hospitality ensuring a truly unforgettable
experience. Additionally, every participant will receive a digital certificate
of participation recognising their involvement in this enriching endeavour,”
he said. The press secretary also encouraged everyone to spread the word on
social media and beyond, as the internet influence can significantly contribute
to making this quiz a resounding success. The High Commission of India in
Eswatini wishes for everyone to unite and work towards breaking participation
records and celebrating the diverse culture of India.
