LexQuest’s 2nd National Article Writing Competition, 2018

To commemorate the 127th Birth Anniversary year of the Father of our Constitution, Lexquest is initiating a drive, to engage and ideate with you, thereby working in the direction of enriching thoughts and encouraging actions. At the same time, keeping in line with the Preamble envisaged by the visionary, Baba Saheb Ambedkar, we aspire to initiate the fraternity into the long haul journey of educational emancipation of the nation.

We are happy to launch LexQuest’s 2nd National Article Writing Competition, 2018.

You can choose to write an article on any topic of your choice, centred around either of the following two themes:
1. Reducing disparity in Private School Education System.
2. The abysmal qualitative gap between Public and Private Education System.

As we call upon you to reflect and ponder upon the state of our education system, we also believe that LexQuest’s commitment to bridge the knowledge gap can not be fulfilled without a constant effort to bridge the resource gap in our educational institutions. While primary education is now a matter of right, we have realised that our government schools function under great resource stress. This largely affects the ability of the students to learn, as even the most basic stationery items fail to make it to these classrooms for the want of better amenities.

Therefore, LexQuest will utilise the proceeds collected from this event to provide the necessary stationery items and books at government schools across Delhi. This will help at least a few classrooms acquire a basic stock of items that will aid the children in their journey to empowerment through education.

We therefore, urge you to participate in big numbers, so that apart from us learning about your views, opinions and ideas, you keep us company, in our aim to attain a more equitable system of education.

Let’s meditate and seek solutions, so that just like Ambedkar, his ideas too have the immortality of effect.
