The month of January is dedicated to Don Bosco in all Don Bosco institutions, as his feast day is celebrated on January 31. In honor of St. John Bosco, a quiz contest was organized at Don Bosco ITI, Kokar, on January 29, 2025. The quiz featured numerous questions about Don Bosco’s life and history, allowing the trainees to gain deeper knowledge about him. Additionally, there were multiple rounds covering general knowledge and other engaging topics.
Br. Tom, the principal, served as the quiz master for the event. The trainees had been given the quiz topics—covering Don Bosco’s life and various general subjects—a month in advance, giving them ample time to prepare. The contest was conducted house-wise, with each house represented by a team of four trainees. The quiz included the following rounds:
- Questions on Don Bosco
- General knowledge
- Rapid-fire round (14 questions to be answered in 60 seconds)
- Multiple-choice questions
- Riddles
- Abbreviations
- Campus observation
- Picture assembly
- Memory-based questions
- Audio-video questions (five varieties)
The competition was a thrilling experience for both participants and the audience, as many questions were also directed toward spectators. Audience members who answered correctly received small prizes. Green House initially took the lead, but Red House made a strong comeback and ultimately secured victory with the highest points. Red House finished as the runner-up. The winning team members were Emmanuel J, Ajay Lakra, Sanju Munda, and Ashish Baxla.
Overall, the quiz contest was an enriching experience, providing trainees with valuable knowledge about Don Bosco while also enhancing their general awareness
