About The Adobe Creativity Challenge Contest

Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation always stood by his values and principles which are the most sought after in today’s world too. Honouring the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi to be celebrated on 2nd October, 2019 – Central Board of Secondary Education joins hands with Adobe to launch a Creativity Challenge across all affiliated schools. This challenge is aimed at commemorating Gandhian values and philosophy among school students, while providing an impetus to digital literacy and early creative skills development across India.

Gandhiji helped popularize the notion of “Be the change you want to see”. His principles of non-violence, truth, and dignity of all people regardless of caste, class or community are encapsulated in the concept of Satyagraha. And if his experiments and creative search can be illuminated by the category of design, it could, undoubtedly, be allied with Gandhi’s character. Thus, in the 21st century, the creative skills are the best way of safe guarding and following his notions.

As part of Digital India, we at CBSE have been on a mission to use technology as an enabler of our education system and many steps have been taken by our team in this direction. This year, as we celebrate the momentous occasion of the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi – we launch CBSE – Adobe Creativity Challenge, a special initiative that will honour the Father of our nation. This contest will also play a pivotal role in encouraging more and more students in India to develop creative skills that are crucial for their long-term growth.
