On December 28th, over 500 young people flooded through Tumo's doors for the second stage of the India in My Imagination competition implemented by the Embassy of India in Armenia, the Ministry of Education of Armenia and Tumo. Minister of Education Armen Ashotyan and Indian Ambassador to Armenia Dr. T. Suresh Babu greeted students and wished them luck in the competition.
Over 500 essays and drawings were entered into the first phase of the competition from various regions in Armenia and over 200 students were selected to take part in the second phase. Selected participants drew or wrote about situations based on two scenarios in which they imagined they were blasting off to outer space and conversing with their Indian astronaut cabin mate or that they were a Bollywood Indian film director shooting a historical film. Participants were split into two groups: 6th-9th graders and 10-12th graders. They were given the necessary tools and 4 hours to complete their drawing or 2 hours to complete their essay.
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners from each group and each category will be announced on January 26th 2015, India's Republic Day. The 1st place winners will get a once in a lifetime 7 day trip to Delhi, Agra and Jaipur.
