competition for school students where they have to participate along with their teachers and
principals. The contest for middle school students includes getting the school students involved
in some kind of community service and finally coming up with a solution to the problem, and
top selected schools will be given Actizen rotating trophies for school, students and teachers
and a wonderful opportunity to feature in a short film directed by the team of the iconic film
‘Dangal’.
