About Quiz:
The Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), under the Government of India, is mandated to provide services for weather, climate, ocean and coastal state, hydrology, seismology, and natural hazards; to explore and harness marine living and non-living resources in a sustainable manner for the country and to explore the three poles of the Earth (the Arctic, Antarctic and Himalayas). More about MoES is available at https://www.moes.gov.in/.
Earth Day is celebrated every year on the 22nd of April. This year’s Earth Day theme is ‘Invest in Our Planet’. As the subject suggested, we all have to step up together and start investing to save our mother Earth.
On the occasion of Earth Day, The Ministry of Earth Sciences invites the public to participate in a ‘Quiz Contest’. The contest is aimed to encourage the zealous youth of the nation for the sustainable development of the planet.
The Earth Day quiz comprises 20 questions that revolve around the theme. These questions are intended to pique participants’ interest in learning more about the holistic evolution of the Earth and Science.
Terms & Conditions of the Quiz:
- Entry to the Quiz is open to all Indian citizens.
- The Participant shall abide by all the rules and regulations of participating in the Quiz from time to time.
