An on-demand registration process is also available, where cash payment is paid to our bank account. The individual, who is being registered, must be within the eligible age of 5 – 10 years (Junior Category) or 11- 17 years (Senior Category).

HOW MANY STUDENTS CAN A SCHOOL REGISTER?
The selected schools per state can register a minimum of TEN (10) students and a maximum of TWENTY (20) students as contestants, as long as they are eligible.
ARE THE PARENTS AND TEACHERS OF THE STUDENTS INVOLVED?
Yes. One of the major aims of conducting this competition is to create strong ties between parents and their wards. It is part of our policy that either the father or the mother of the child accompanies the child/children (apart from the school representatives) to the competition. A child may be disqualified if one of the parents don’t comply with the directive. However, exceptions can be given to students whose parents are dead, are living far away from the hosting state or had emergency that is beyond their control, but with writing permission from such parents or foster parents.
This is because we encourage you to understand that influencing these children is what we term as ‘Development’, but influencing their primary influences is what we call ‘Sustainable Development’ for a better and morally upright society; which begins from our homes. In addition, we conduct a FREE competition and parenting conference within the competition on the following topics:
1. Parenting and Body Integrity (Sex Education)
2. Parenting and Academic Excellence / Self Discovery
3. Parenting and Emotional/Financial Intelligence
