Do you know Darjeeling Tea was the first Indian product to get a GI tag, in 2003? 12-year-old Nikhil from Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan knew it the moment the question was asked.
He was one among the many bright students from various city schools who participated in the India Heritage Quiz, 2015, organised by INTACH (Indian National Trust of Art and Cultural Heritage) on Saturday. The quiz show, hosted by Kunal Savarkar, architect and quiz master, had two rounds – one for Chennai schools, and then, a final round for the State.
According to Sujatha Shankar, convenor, INTACH, 280 students took part in the written round, and the qualifying students went on to face the winners from other cities in the State, and Puducherry.
