Tata Power-led Odisha Discoms have recently launched the “My Odisha, India’s Pride” contest. This initiative marks a significant step in the company’s efforts to foster cultural enrichment and nurturing young talent while celebrating the state’s rich cultural heritage.

Aimed at cultivating pride and creativity among children aged 8-12 and 13-16 years, the contest invites children to send their entries in the form of painting, sketches, and literary arts including poems, essays, and stories. The initiative perfectly aligns with the state government’s ‘Skilled in Odisha’ campaign, fostering a synergy between education and cultural awareness.

Students can send their video entries in the form of poems, essays, stories etc.

The first prize carries a trophy, gold medal and gift vouchers worth Rs 2000. A silver medal and gift vouchers worth Rs 2000 will be given to the second prize winner, while the entry selected for the third prize will receive a bronze medal besides gift vouchers worth Rs 2000.

While 20 shortlisted entries will be given gift vouchers worth Rs 2000 each, every participant will get ‘Certificate of Participation’.

Participants may directly upload their entries on My Odisha India’s Pride Contest in categorized folders ensuring name_age_phone number as file name. For e.g. Tuhina Mohapatra_09_9819xxxxxx.

Alternatively, they may email their entries to [email protected] along with the participating category, name, age, mobile number and city.

A distinguished panel of judges comprising experts from various fields will evaluate the submissions, and the winners will be announced in a ceremony that aims to recognise and applaud them for their artistic contributions. The winning entries will also be featured across the company’s social media platforms.

As a part of its distribution business in Odisha, Tata Power operates four discoms — TP Central, TP Southern, TP Northern and TP Western Odisha Distribution Limited in a joint venture with the Government of Odisha.
