About The Program

The objective of the year- long CBSE Heritage Quiz, supported by the Central Board of Secondary Education, aims to inform the growing generation of students the inter-link between their culture and heritage and the need for sustainable socio-economic development alongside modernization. In continuation with Circular No. Acad-23/2014, as in the previous years, the Heritage India Quiz would also include 25% questions on the Cultural Practices and Heritage of the North Eastern States of India. The All India quiz is expected to reach students across the country, thereby sensitizing them to the rich cultural diversity that is inherently Indian. Yet another worthy aim of the quiz is to raise awareness among them about the conservation and management of the country’s heritage. The Board, therefore, directs all school heads to ensure the maximum participation of students in this competition.
