"Participating in National Value Education Contest was one of a kind of experience which helped me to imbibe good traits, values and the essence of life. While participating in this unique contest, I got to learn the very thought-provoking life lessons preached by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita which is so pertinent and correlated to today's time. By reading the Bhagavad Gita, it has enhanced my spiritual knowledge and broadened my outlook towards the material world. It also provided me great insights into the subtle areas of our rich culture and heritage that opens up new vistas of learning and evokes enthusiasm in understanding the value of human birth"

"First of all, I would like to thank the organisers for giving this platform to all children. I have been studying shlokas and attending Bhagavat Gita classes for the past 2 years in Coimbatore. My teacher for Gita classes inspired me to participate in this contest. This contest has helped me to understand moral values like Honesty, Cleanliness, Kindness, Tolerance and Forgiveness. From reading the story of Raja Harishchandra, I could recognise that whatever may be the situation of the surroundings, Truth always prevails. Lord Krishna always showers mercy upon those persons."

"Relished reading the booklet and Bhagavad Gita As It Is. The treasure of values and teachings which these books behold work line fine sieve to churn out the nectar of your persona. This contest helped me rediscover the long lost me... my constitutional position and has helped me unleash my potential to its peak. Srila Prabhupada and Lord Krishna have been my beacon light and their words my action. Thus it's now that I find myself more relaxed in a happy-going-mood. A big Hari Bol for giving us this opportunity."

"I am really fortunate to participate in this contest i feel it as a blessing of Lord Krishna.I came to know about this contest through a social media platform.From the day i registered until now the Team had constantly given support to me and they had kept on updating very frequently and they had also clarified each quiery of mine.I would thank the team whole heartedly for their wonderful support. I personally feel that this is a contest which is a foundation laying programme for Indian Youth.Values are very important for the youth as we know during the teenage there will be many distractions one has to overcome these for focusing on their Studies.in this present age the world is very competitive and one requires a lot of focus,determination and Hardworking capacity to cope up with this present age.There are schools for training in education but there are very few institutes which give right values.So values learnt shapes our destiny.This contest had helped me gain the right values and gave me a great scope to deal with what is right and wrong.This is an unforgattable contest in my life.I would try my best to inculcate all the values i have learnt from this wonderful programme."

"When my brother told me about this contest I was very excited to read Bhagavad Gita As It Is. It answers to all our doubts with explanations .It builds character of human being. It makes us realize about our duties and aim. I learnt that good association is very important, and also got to learn the qualities like charity, compassion, discipline, self control. I got the knowledge of not worrying about the results but simply do our duty. My experience was very wonderful. I would like to thank ISKCON JUHU ,for organizing this contest by which students can participate and think of reading BHAGAVAD GITA"

And especially I liked the nature and pattern of the questions, which not only tested the details on Bhagavad Gita verses, their meaning and purports but more importantly on the practical application of those concepts in our day today life, with examples from real life scenarios."
2nd Prize
Himanshu Gupta
DU, Rohini, New Delhi
"My experience of National Value Education Contest 2021 has been very fulfilling and rewarding, though filled with obstacles. To begin with, I could not afford to even pay the registration fees of the contest due to my extremely poor financial position. Besides, I do not have a computer or smartphone either. However, the NVC team helped me tremendously, going out of their way by waiving off my registration fees. Besides the Bhagavad Gita, they even provided me the study material in printed form upon my request. It was only due to their assistance and the Lord Krishna's grace that I could participate in this wonderful contest. I enjoyed a lot solving the study material's 100 questions by studying the Bhagavad Gita. It was learning experience of a lifetime for me. I learnt a lot from the Bhagavad Gita, a treasure that I cannot find anywhere else in this world. Gita taught me compassion, fearlessness, the power of prayer and service to the Supreme Lord. Last but not the least, it was ultimately my Karma of dedication and hard work that got rewarded by Lord's eternal grace and blessings."
3rd Prize

The eternal messages of Sreemad Bhagavad Gita which has inspired millions of great men and women around the world are been very skillfully incorporated in this wonderful course. This contest taught me the practical application of Gita in daily life.

I am greatful for the organizers for conducting such an insightful event."

Shruti Lakshman
Indian Institute of Management, Rohtak
"I read the 'Bhagavad Geeta As It Is' and I cannot explain in words how much value it has added to my life. I now see the world from a different perspective. I know that my goal is to reach the supreme God, and not be confined to material pleasures, which are of transient nature. I now have the knowledge of what kind of life a person should lead- with spirituality, chanting Hare Krishna! There is a wide awakening that Krishna is present in everyone and everything. So, when I know Krishna is withing me, I will never do anything will hurt anyone. After reading the Bhagavad geeta, I was able to slowly come out of my attachments to things and people. I was able to know about the consciousness within all of us. "
Viraj Gawde
Deutsche Bank Group, Pune
"Bhagvad Gita is a book which is about 5000 years old but its knowledge is still applicable. I personally consider it as manual of human life because it teaches us how to lead a happy and satisfied life and this contest helped me to identify this. I will try to imbibe these values and pass on to others."
Anuja Bhalke
Spicer Adventist University, Bidar
"Many people don't read Bhagavad Gita. The contest such as National value education make participants to learn values and apply on themselves. The change which has come, might be followed by others. Gita says: general people follow the example of great people, they follow the standards set by them. With these changes a day would come when leaders would start talking about Gita and from there on there would be exponential increase in the number of people getting interested in reading and understanding Bhagavad Gita."
