Dear Principal,
The CBSE Heritage India Quiz is one of the enrichment activities initiated by
the Board with the objective of inculcating among the students interest and
appreciation for the rich heritage and diversity of our country. Started
in the year 2001, it has been generating tremendous enthusiasm among the student
community. It is needless to say that it has been the unstinted support
and cooperation from schools that had enabled this success. The trend
needs to be continued and the schools are expected to participate with greater
vigour in the Heritage India Quiz to be conducted in the ensuing academic
session 2009-10.
As in the previous years, the first edition of the CBSE Heritage India Quiz will
start from August 2009. Teams will be identified on the basis of their
performance in the first round of written preliminary quiz to be conducted in
August, 2009. Each school will be represented by three students
forming a team who may be selected from classes IX to XII.
The written preliminary round will consist of multiple choice type questions
in which the correct answer has to be marked on the OMR answer sheet .The total
of the scores obtained by the three participants will be the marks scored by the
team. The meritorious teams will participate in the Zonal Rounds which are
proposed to be conducted in September 2009. This will be followed by the
National Rounds featuring the Pre Finals amongst the teams qualifying in the
Zonal Rounds and the National Finals for the best teams emerging out of the Pre
