The quiz competition, aimed at testing and improving knowledge about elections, will offer substantial cash prizes to participants. The top three winners of the competition will be awarded ₹50,000, ₹30,000, and ₹20,000, respectively. In addition to these, the highest-scoring participant from each district will receive a cash prize of ₹10,000, making the competition both challenging and rewarding.
