All-India Inter School Crossword Championship for Delhi and NCR

The Year 2013 is the "Year of the Crossword" as in this year crossword puzzles have become 100 years old. 

A crossword can appear inviting and yet daunting to many of us. Many of us even though fully equipped to face the challenge of solving cryptic crosswords, turn away longingly, not daring to pull out pens to crack the code.

Crossword puzzles help learners improve their reasoning, spelling and word attack skills and make an interesting and effective educational tool. The teachers and learners also benefit a great deal by using them in the teaching-learning process. They help to enhance vocabulary, strengthen  word  recall  and  memory,  stimulate  problem  solving  skills,  and  improve  focus  and attention.

Keeping in mind all the above mentioned benefits, the Board has decided to collaborate with Sudha Dairy in organizing All – India Inter-School Crossword Championship for the first time ever for the students of Class VIII-XII.

The competition will be conducted in 3 phases:

Phase 1- School Round- To be held in first week of November, 2013 in your own school.

Phase 2- City Round- Delhi to be held on 12th November, 2013 at Springdales School, Pusa

Road, New Delhi.

Phase 3- National Round- To be held in mid-week of December 2013 to be announced.
