Children's World Story Writing Competition

As India celebrates 75 years of Independence on August 15, 2022, here is an opportunity for you to get your story published in the August 2022 issue of the magazine on the theme:

India a Land of Unity in Diversity

This topic is as vast as our country. In India people belonging to different religions, cultures, castes and sects live in peace and harmony with each other. They celebrate different festivals yet there are some similarities in their timing and nature of festivities that make us realize there is unity in diversity. There are more than a thousand languages and dialects spoken in our country, yet alikeness in their nuances and usages highlight we are one. The idea of the competition is to educate children about the various aspects of our culture through stories so that they have respect for not only their own culture but also learn to appreciate others’.
