  • FICCI-ILIA & StoryMirror Schools Writing Competition 2019

    The internet has long been a playground for the English speaking population of the country. Since the early 1990s the technology that has been developed was to cater to these creamy-layered English speaking population. But with the advent of lower data costs and faster penetration of mobile phones, the demand of Indian Language digital content has increased. Today Indian language content is amongst the highest grossing on social media websites. But even with these advances we increasingly find children these days losing the touch with their mother tongue on digital fronts. Less than 1% of the total content available online, is available in Indian languages. Making us depend on English content for information . To resolve this problem, StoryMirror in association with FICCI & FICCI - ILIA presents Schools Writing Competition. The competition is aimed to rejuvenate the creative energy of students and help them incline towards writing & Indic literature. FICCI-ILIA - StoryMirror Schools Writing Competition 2019 will be launched by FICCI during the Bhashantara sympoium on 18th November 2019.
