As part of this, the Collector launched the quiz competition at mandal-level where school students from 9th, 10th and Intermediate students of 1st and 2nd Year took part in large numbers in all the mandals. Based on the results of the mandal-level competition, the selected candidates from all the 12 mandals in the district will again compete at constituency-level which is scheduled to be held on 28th November.

The top selected candidates at the district-level will be sent to participate in the national-level quiz competition,” said Collector Rajat Kumar Saini.
