Srinagar, Apr 11 (KNS): Encouraging students in J&K to put on their thinking caps, Vodafone J&K circle today organised the ‘Vodafone Quiz Contest’ for students of Govt. College for Women, Parade Ground, Jammu in the college campus.
Held at 11 am in the college premises, the one-hour long Vodafone Quiz Contest saw participating students engage in a battle of brains to emerge as the smartest amongst their peers. Based on a screening test organised earlier by the college, 6 teams comprising two participants each were shortlisted for the Vodafone Quiz Contest. The 6 teams were tested on their knowledge, awareness and quick thinking ability as they competed across 4 engaging rounds.
The first two rounds of the Vodafone Quiz Contest tested the teams on their knowledge about both past and present with round one comprising questions on History of J&K and round two challenging them to reveal how up to date they were on the Current Affairs. With it being the Vodafone Quiz Contest, the participants would surely have anticipated and prepared for questions on Vodafone and they were not be disappointed as round three indeed tested their knowledge on telecom sector in general and Vodafone in particular. The round four was a surprise round with a mix bag of questions on no particular category.
Sharing his views, Pushpinder S Gujral, Business Head- J&K, Punjab and HP, Vodafone India, said, “At Vodafone, we believe in inspiring the youth to challenge themselves to be the best. A quiz is an excellent platform which allows students to showcase their knowledge, presence of mind and mental capabilities which are necessary to succeed in the competitive world.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp ChannelWe are happy with today’s quiz and plan to hold more such quizzes across colleges in J&K in the near future.” It has been a constant endeavour on part of Vodafone to engage with the youth in a meaningful manner through various youth-centric initiatives like Scholarship activity, youth melas, college fun activities etc.
Simultaneously, Vodafone also organised a ‘Vodafone Free Service Camp’ for college students in the college.
