II GENERAL KNOWLEDGE QUIZ COMPETITION 
      
     General Knowledge helps an individual learn and introspect themselves to the fullest which is way beyond 
     the bookish understanding. It develops children's social, sensitive, reasoning, and analytical thinking skills. 
     Putting light on these key elements, the Bansa Community Library have come up with the initiative of 
     organizing quiz competitions once in every four months. These series of quiz competitions have seemed to be 
     highly intriguing for the children. We start by announcing the date of the quiz competition and starting that 
     day we put questions and bullet points related to the GK quiz to be held in our library bulletin board till the 
     day of the quiz competition. By our observations, this small step has tremendously increased the attendance 
     of the children and made them genuinely interested in it. 
      
                                                    
      
     On 5th September, 2021, the Bansa Community Library came up with yet another interesting GK Quiz 
     competition which received a very overwhelming response from the number of people and children who 
     attended it with keen interest. We'd like to pay our sincere appreciation and thanks to the organisation 
     "Sampurna Shiksha" for helping and supporting us throughout the journey of our library and sponsoring our 
     second quiz competition.  
      
     The event was a huge success as a total of 109 children participated in this competition out of which 21 children 
     were from a nearby library named 'Gram Sudhar Pustakalaya, Terwa'. The dedication of the children to attend 
     this event was commendable as a kid travelled 30kms with her father to attend this quiz session.  
      
      
                              
                             Another group of 21 kids travelled 11kms in their 
                              bicycles to reach the library as well. As the event 
                              commenced, the children were divided into three 
                              groups with 35 students in each. The division of the 
                              groups were based on the grades they were studying 
                              so  the  first  group  consisted  of  the  students  from 
                              Class 5 to Class 8, the second group consisted of 
                              students from Class 9 to Class 12 and the third group 
                              was for the students of Class 12 and above. Three 
                             winners were chosen from each group, respectively.  
                              
                              
    This quiz competition was concluded with the felicitation of the winners by Raghvendra Pratap Singh, Review 
    Office, Review Officer, UP Secretariat who also secured Rank 1 in UP in RO Exam, 2016.  
     
                                                      
     
     
    Moreover, on the occassion of Teacher's Day, Praveen Kumar, a teacher from a junior school in the village of 
    Bansa, gave a very astonishing speech about the importance of Teacher's Day and also enlightened the children 
    about how on the remembrance of the great teacher, Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, we celebrate this day to 
    appreciate the hardwork of all the teachers. The quiz event was indeed a very insightful one which deeply 
    compelled the children to learn something new.
