Essay Competition :
IDC (India Discovery Center), a non-profit organization based in Massachusetts, is organizing a national essay contest on Mahatma Gandhi as a part of its India Heritage Weekend event. The India Heritage Weekend celebrates the centennial of Gandhi’s return to India with a planned set of activities including movies, music concert, exhibition and a lecture. Gandhi returned from South Africa in 1915 and launched
India’s nonviolent civil disobedience movement that helped gain India’s freedom. It was also a forerunner to the liberation of several Asian and African countries from colonial rule.
The essays would be evaluated by an independent panel of judges and the results would be announced in the second week of October. IDC will award three prizes for the contest.
