service provider Tata DOCOMO is powering EduOlympiad, a competition for school
students with multiple levels to prove their genius at a national level.
EduOlympiad, organized by EducompOnline, an educational content
and online school management resource for schools, is conducted in over 400
cities across more than 5,000 schools.
Open for all students from Classes IV to XII, EduOlympiad is
being conducted for two subjects – Science and Mathematics. The registration
for EduOlympiad started on 12 December 2011 and will close on 7 February 2012.
In continuation of Educomp’s heritage of technology-enabled
education, we launched EduOlympiad, with which we wish to take the academic
Olympiads to a new level for the new generation of students for whom technology
is a part of life. This is the first time that the reach of the competition,
titled Genius in You, is across India, in smaller cities as well,”
said Pushkar Saran, business head, EducompOnline.
We are very happy to power the entire retail interface for
EduOlympiad. With more than 2.5 lakh Tata Indicom and Tata DOCOMO retailers across India, students
and parents have the option of paying the participation fee at any of these
locations. As the process of participation in the EduOlympiad is extremely
simple, given the abundant use of technology, we expect a large number of
students to participate in this competition,” said Gurinder Singh Sandhu, head,
Corporate Marketing, Tata Teleservices.
