PAN India essay competition by Takthe in partnership with UNESCO

In the summer of 2019, I, Gayathri Venkatesan attended a PAN India essay competition by Takthe in partnership with UNESCO New Delhi, writing on the topic of ‘Is protecting the natural environment a priority?’ The top one hundred essays were to be published into a book known as ‘Inside the Millennial Mind’, in which my essay was featured. I received the book from the book launch in New Delhi. I learned many things about the topic as I researched and found some very shocking things as well that I would not have expected in the slightest. It was a wonderful experience, as the book contained the various thoughts of students akin to myself all over the country. All in all, I feel like the entire experience, from participating in the competition, to receiving the book was a journey that was wonderful and I would definitely do it again if I had the opportunity. – Gayathri Venkatesan, grade 11
