Rahul Bose has been named the brand ambassador for the world’s largest school competition, Design for Change (DFC), launched by Kiran Bir Sethi six years ago in Ahmedabad.
According to a written statement from Bose, DFC is an award-winning global movement led by children. Their stories aim to bring change. “DFC... helps children find answers... from stopping child marriages, cleaning neighbourhoods, preserving cultural heritage, they are proving what it takes to be able to design a desired future.”
In the past five years, the DFC has enabled children in more than 3,000 schools in India to create a positive change in their immediate environment, involving participants from 30 other countries and collecting more than 10,000 stories on 16 diverse issues.
Sethi said the most compelling stories of change by children will be featured on satyamevjayate.in. Amar Chitra Katha will give gift hampers to 80 winning schools while Disney Play Centres will award top 20 winning schools.
The last date for submission of entries is August 15. Stories in the form of reports have to be received by October 2 and the prizes will be announced on November 14. The best stories will be published in the annual book I CAN.
