All Heads of Schools affiliated to CBSE

Since CBSE launched the Heritage India Quiz in 2001, every year the growing response from schools, teachers, parents, students, the media and academic leaders has been overwhelming. Every upcoming edition has generated tremendous enthusiasm that inspired everyone’s imagination. It is the spirit of our country, its rich heritage, its brilliant colours and the love we all have for our country that has driven the quiz to such heights. The Board is happy to announce the re-launching of CBSE Heritage India Quiz – 2022 in its original format with the central theme of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav to celebrate and commemorate 75 years of independence and the glorious history of its people, culture and achievements.

The Inter school quiz is expected to reach students across the country, thereby sensitizing them to the rich cultural diversity that is inherently Indian.
