National Information Centre of Earthquake Engineering (NICEE) at Kanpur conducted an inter school quiz competition on Earthquake tips at the Outreach auditorium at IIT-Kanpur on Tuesday. The quiz was organised on the occasion of Republic day, also the ninth anniversary of the Bhuj earthquake.
The quiz had four rounds viz Round Robin, Picture round, Rapid Fire round and Lucky number round. The questions were mostly from the publication `Earthquake Tips' by Dr CVR Murty and other were based on earthquakes which have occurred in India and in other countries. The winners of preliminary rounds participated in the final quiz.
It was the Jagat Taran Golden Jubilee School, Allahabad represented by Hemangi Das, Arunima Singh, Pradyot Srivastava and Tanoy Banerjee that emerged as a winner. A cash prize of Rs 1,000 was given to each of the participants. The first runner up and second runner up were given Rs 750 and Rs 500 (to individual participant). The certificate and prizes were distributed by the coordinator NICE Dr Durgesh Rai, also the chief guest of the function.
Dr KK Bajpai of IIT-Kanpur delivered the vote of thanks to participants and the schools management. Dr Bajpai also appreciated the NICEE team consisting of Anamika Dikshit, Megha Singh, Tanusri Mondal, Sandhya Sharma, Seema Kushwaha and Malikhan Singh for making the event a success. Further, it was proposed to make the quiz an annual event with the final round of quiz being held on January 26 every year to memorialise the devastating Bhuj earthquake of 2001.
