BENGAL’S BIGGEST QUIZ FOR THE 6TH TIME
Siliguri, November 8, 2019: Inspiria Q, the most awaited quizzing bonanza of North Bengal is organised by Inspiria Knowledge Campus on 8th November, 2019. G.D. Goenka Public School repeated its winning feat, making it to the top, three times in a row, followed by S.H.M.D School,
Jaigaon as the first runner up and Army Public School, Bengdubi as the second runner up.
The Inspiria Q 2019 engaged 32 schools from Kurseong, Kalimpong, Darjeeling, Bagdogra,
Cooch Behar, Alipurduar, Gangtok, Binnaguri, Raiganj and Jaigaon in the quizzing gala.
Quiz generates curiosity, as quoted by Mr. Indrajeet Chatterjee, Head Academics of Inspiria
Knowledge Campus, “The objective of Inspiria Q is to inculcate the culture of curiosity and
critical thinking among the student community’’.
The quizzing event was inaugurated by Mr. Atul Gupta, Managing Trustee; Mr. Rahul Gupta,
Head Operations; Mr. Indrajeet Chaterjee, Head Academics of Inspiria Knowledge Campus. The
total number of participating teams were 22 and six schools qualified for the finale round. The

for six years to schools competing at the Higher Secondary Level which brings out the hidden
abilities of the school going students. It also provides a common platform for the students to
explore the zeal of learning. Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice and Inspiria
Q is one platform where students can put their knowledge into practice says Mr. Rahul Gupta,
Head of Operations, Inspiria Knowledge Campus.
The students have shown extreme interest and exuberance for the event. A student of Army
Public School, Bengdubi exclaims, “An enthusiastic approach towards learning and a fun way of
interacting with the students’’. The day long event has created a sense of critical and analytical
thinking among the participants of Inspiria Q which follows a structured and unique format of
quizzing. “The main objective is to encourage students to participate more in extra curricular
activities along with academics so that they can excel in their overall growth’’ says Mr. Atul
Gupta.
The sixth consecutive year of the contest has seen the outburst of enthusiasm which is
conducted by the quiz master Mr. Gautam Bose, CEO Greycell. Inspiria Q has become one of
the most interactive events in the academic calendar in Siliguri and the surrounding region.
The event concluded with a power packed quote of the quiz master “Knowledge is the ultimate
power so, I encourage the students to read more about what is happening around the globe.
Keep smiling, keep quizzing.”

OVERVIEW
AND
HIGHLIGHTS
Locally known as Anandshala it partners
with the Bihar Education Project Council in
the district of Samastipur in Bihar. It
includes an Early Warning System, an
Enrichment Program and a Parent
Engagement program. In March 2015 it
completed a 4 year Randomized Control
Trial working in 113 intervention schools
and 107 control schools.
We conducted 17 trainings attended by
514 teachers and headmasters, conducted
315 open houses in which 8272 parents
were engaged.
To scale the program, we produced the
Anandshala toolkit this year to take our
model to 1000 schools which covers the
entire school district of Samastipur.
The Education Program at QUEST
focuses on creating enriching learning
spaces and experiences for children to
build their essential skills to become
independent thinkers.
It’s been 10 years since we started on a
journey to provide self learning pathways to
India’s children and youth. Few would
disagree that when given an opportunity,
children can learn on their own and youth
can find their own direction. Yet, very often
our classrooms and beliefs show a very
different reality. Changing this and creating
new possibilities is at the core of QUEST’s
existence. The entire ecosystem needs to
come together to provide a safe and joyful
learning environment.
Collectively, we need to harness the
strengths of various stakeholders. We need to
do this together and we need to do this now.

Based on our 10 years of experience, we aim
to promote scalable models in the areas of
education and employability in the coming
years, addressing India’s critical needs in
reforming the education and vocational
training sectors by influencing systems to
create more learner centered environments,
packaging toolkits that can be widely used
and adopted, and by demonstrating
programs at scale.
We have refreshed our existing identity mark!
Our new identity is fresher and more youthful,
the rounded corners and open counters reflect
our friendly and accessible personality.
While we have kept the blue and orange
colours, these have been synergized to work
well together. A major change has been the
separation of type and symbol, making it more
flexible for usage in various applications.
Do look out for our new identity in the coming
year on our digital and print collateral!
