G20 THINQ: Practice rounds to be held on September 10 and 11, while elimination round will be conducted on September 12
The Indian Navy has scaled up its inter-school quiz competition at different stations to a national-level event to commemorate Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. And now, with India assuming the G20 presidency this year, The Indian Navy Quiz (THINQ) has been rebuilt into an international event labelled ‘G20 THINQ’.
The event is being conducted by the navy under the aegis of the G20 Secretariat and in partnership with the Navy Welfare and Wellness Association (NWWA) and will have two levels — national and international.
