Since CBSE launched the Heritage India Quiz in 2001, the response from schools, teachers, parents, students, the media and academic leaders like you has been overwhelming. 2001, 2002 and 2003 editions have generated tremendous enthusiasm and fired everyone's imagination. Already the CBSE Heritage India Quiz is the yardstick by which other quizzes are now measured. I believe that it is the spirit of our country, its rich heritage, its brilliant colours and the love we all have for our country that has driven the quiz to such heights..

I write this now to invite your school to register for the 2004 edition of the CBSE Heritage India Quiz which we intend to make bigger and better. The quiz will now be taken to more places in the country and to some locations abroad. We intend to have more schools involved in the various live rounds so that more students enjoy learning about our country in an enjoyable package. There will also be more prizes and gifts. It will be a stimulating experience for all.

Needless to say we need the support of schools like yours to propel this beautiful quiz to higher dimensions. Accompanying my letter is a registration form for you to fill in and send back to us at CBSE. Remember, this is just to register your school for the contest. You may finalize the team (3 students from class IX, X, XI & XII) before the first written round is held. We have kept the registration fee for each school at last year's level of Rs.600/- and you may kindly enclose a draft for the amount along with your registration form.

 The last date for the receipt of the registration forms from schools is 16th April, 2004. Please send us your forms as quickly as you can so that we can formalize the quiz design and mail it to you in time.

Yours faithfully,
