Tata Building India School Essay Competition 2024

he essay competition is a two-phase activity across all the participating schools in the country for students of classes 6th – 12th. The first phase consists of showcasing inspirational Tata-linked films which hopefully stimulate young minds to think about the nation. Following this, students are asked a few questions based on the films. Thereafter, the students are requested to write an essay on a given topic of national significance.

To ensure a level playing field, the students are divided into 2 participating categories across all languages (Junior - Classes 6th – 8th and Senior - Classes 9th – 12th).

Topic of the essay competition
The underlying theme/topic is always about nation building. The topics are carefully chosen for students to be both creative and insightful.
Some of the previous years' topics were:
  • Digital Technology: How does it improve your life? What do you think should be done with digital technology for the progress of our country and its citizens?
  • How can you keep the place you live in - your home, your school - a neat and clean place?
  • What would you do to make India a happy country?
  • How will Science and Technology change our lives in the future, and what should India do to stay ahead in the game?
  • What should India do to win 20 gold medals in 2016 Olympics?
  • What can we do as a country and its citizens to reduce poverty and ensure basic amenities for every Indian?
  • As a young Indian, you have an opportunity to shape our country's future. What are the biggest challenges facing our country? What would be your priorities? and what role could you play to make India a happy and prosperous nation?
  • If I were the Prime Minister of India, what would I do to make India a super power by 2020?
  • Describe your views on how cleanliness impacts national development and health; and how can you encourage your locality and city to adopt cleanliness and promote healthy living?
  • What should we do to make our education system prepare us for a better tomorrow?
Judging process
The essays, written only once by the students, are evaluated at 3 levels: first at the school level, followed by the city level and finally at the national level.

School Level
Essays at the school level are evaluated by judges appointed by the same school. 1 winner and 2 runners-up are identified in both the categories - Junior (Classes 6th – 8th) and Senior (Classes 9th – 12th), depending on the strength of participation in the respective categories. Therefore, normally a total of 6 students are given prizes at each participating school . The prizes* usually include a combination of certificates, medals and Tata Building India merchandise.

City Level
The essays of the school level winners across all the schools from each city for both categories (Junior & Senior) are evaluated by a panel of 2 independent judges drawn from academic or literary fields of the same city/region/state. 1 Winner and 1 runner-up is identified by the judges from each city and for each language in both the categories (Junior & Senior) depending on the strength of the participation in the respective categories. Therefore, normally 4 students are again given prizes* for each language at the city level.
