Heartfulness Essay Event 2022 is being organised in Collaboration With UNESCO MGIEP, United Nations Information Centre for India and Bhutan
The All India Essay Writing Event had been the flagship event of Shri Ram Chandra Mission (SRCM) for nearly three decades and was organized in partnership with United Nations Information Centre for India and Bhutan ( UNIC ) for several years since 2005 reaching out to over 25,000 institutions in India. The ‘Heartfulness Essay Event’
Categories and topics for Participants
Category - 1
[ Age 14-18 years ] Word Limit 500
Topic : Kindness is compassion in action.
Category - 2
[ Age 19-25 years ] Word Limit 750
Theme : Rising With Kindness
The Event for Category 2 will be conducted in two phases.
Phase I – Ideation as an Essay : In the first part we propose to ask the participants to look around their immediate living environment - their community or neighborhood - and identify a human problem about which they feel highly concerned. The problem MUST be related to the community or neighborhood as a whole or a group within the community and not an individual . They will be required to write an essay covering three broad aspects as follows :
The participant authors must elucidate the problem itself explaining why they perceive the particular issue or phenomenon as a problem.
Next they must analyze the problem to identify what in their personal view is the real cause of the problem. The essay must identify the lack of a human value or values which is the root cause of the problem and ideally also relate it to one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs) of the UN.
As a last step the participant authors would be required to suggest an innovative solution which they would like to deploy to help resolve the problem. The intervention must be innovative and possible to implement through their individual or peer group effort. The intervention could be a novel strategy, an instrument or a device which could be innovatively deployed by the participant or could be an innovation of the author. They would be asked to state the resources they would need to successfully implement the suggested solution. The project should be such that the grant from the Heartfulness Youth Innovator Program can get them to the stage of take- off and seek further funding.
The jury will decide top ten winners on the basis of the ideation of the problem and the solution conceptualized by the author participant.
