Khel Khel Mein

A competition for students for designing Toys and Games

Based on

Indian Values, Culture and Heritage

About the Competition

Honourable Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi, in his address to the nation
on the 73rd Independence Day, has urged the youths of our nation to come
up with indigenous toys and games reflecting Indian values.

Inspired by Hon. Prime Minister’s challenge, Muktangan Exploratory

together with its associates is organizing a competition - Khel Khel Mein,
aimed at harnessing the creative talents among the young minds to design
Toys and Games based on Indian Values, Culture and Heritage. It is
envisaged that the participants will not only conceive an idea of a Toy or a
Game but also to realize these ideas innovatively.

An entry can be based on one or multiple themes – i.e. combination of

Indian Values, Culture or Heritage.
