Actizen ® – An initiative to create an active and alert citizen

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

and a wonderful opportunity to feature in a short film directed by the team of the iconic film

‘Dangal’.
