As part of the National Geographic Channel's hunt for India's superkid, Nat Geo Junior Hunt 2 City Finals was organised at 'Ryan International School' today.
The city finals infused with a host of exciting activities culminated with Jemin Shah (Standard VI) from Ryan International School and Anchal Samtani (Standard VIII), from J.B. Wacha High School emerging as the winners who will represent Mumbai at the next level of the unique programme.
Nat Geo Junior Hunt 2 is the second chapter of the channel's hugely successful nationwide school engagement programme. It is the quest for the best, a 'Nat Geo Junior' who is curious, adventurous, articulate, energetic and smart, in short an all-rounder. National Geographic Channel has partnered with Max New York Life to provide this unique platform for kids to showcase their brilliance through a stimulating and invigorating learning experience.
Rajesh Sheshadri, Vice-president, Marketing, National Geographic Channel India said "Through this initiative we are looking for the brightest, smartest and the coolest Indian kid who likes his books as much as sports, likes to learn and discover new things, is adventurous, out-going and ready to take on challenges. Nat Geo's endeavour is to stimulate the intellect of our young audiences to 'Think again' and encourage them to learn more about the world they live in, while enjoying the experience."
Debashis Sarkar, Director, Marketing, Product Management and Corporate Affairs, Max New York Life said "National Geographic Channel has an outstanding reach among children; through this partnership Max New York Life gets an opportunity to reach out to the larger audience of children and their parents and help them in realising their dreams by enabling them to have a secure future. India is a young country and through this initiative we hope to make certain that this young India is financially safer and more secure."
The hunt spans across 10 cities covering 400 reputed schools and has received great response with approximately 4,00,000 kids between 11-14 years of age participating in the first round. Out of these, 500 kids in each city made it to the city finals, which are being organised in the respective cities.
