Amrita Vidyalayam, Vellimadukunnu, organised a Special Quiz Programme on 13 June 2025 (Wednesday) in collaboration with Q Positive, one of Kerala’s most respected professional quiz-organising companies. The event also marked the launch of the Q Positive Club and the International Quizzing Association (IQA) Calicut Chapter at the school. The programme was anchored by Devika, Head Girl of Amrita Vidyalayam.

The inaugural session commenced with a prayer, followed by the welcome address delivered by the Principal, Ms. Dhanya. Distinguished guests for the day included Shri Ajayan K. Anat (Chief Knowledge Ambassador, IQA Calicut), Dr. Amal Damodaran (Quiz Master, Q Factory), Shamin Manet Joy (Project Head, IQA Kerala), and coordinators Nandhana E. K. and Vishnu S. Girish.

The quiz was conducted in two categories — the Junior Section (Grades 3 to 7) and the Senior Section (Grades 8 to 12) — each comprising Preliminary, Semifinal, and Final rounds. The competition tested the students’ knowledge, quick thinking, and teamwork. Participants exhibited exceptional enthusiasm and competitive spirit throughout. At the conclusion of the Junior Section, Mr. Snehaj addressed the gathering.

The Lighting of the Lamp ceremony, symbolising the light of knowledge, marked the formal commencement of the event. Devna of Grade 8 introduced the Chief Guest, who then delivered an inspiring address to the audience.

The programme concluded with a Vote of Thanks by Ms. Raji, who expressed heartfelt appreciation to the guests, organisers, and participants for their contributions in making the event a grand success.

The day not only celebrated quizzing as an intellectually stimulating activity but also marked a significant milestone in fostering a vibrant quizzing culture within the school community.
