WINNING WITH WORDS! HERE ARE THE RESULTS OF ‘THE WRITTEN WORD’ ESSAY CONTEST

From lockdown chronicles to ways to handle the pandemic; from policy decisions on Indian infrastructure to dependency on technology, over 200 students had a lot to write about as part of Sai University’s (SaiU) online essay competition, The Written Word. Students from classes 2 to 12 and from schools across India and UAE participated in the event, which was organized to create a platform for young minds to pen their views on important topics of today.

Essay writing helps one organize thoughts, summon evidence, entertain counter-arguments, critique alternative views after doing justice to them, and present thoughts in a succinct manner, all of which are crucial life skills for every young student. Essay writing also helps a student in developing their vocabulary in an engaging manner.

Based on SaiU’s commitment to building key skills like critical thinking, expository writing among others, The Written Word elicited exciting and innovative views from all participants.
