Elocution Competition: Youth Against Counterfeiting And Smuggling, New Delhi
12/05/2014 | New Delhi
With the unrelenting growth of illicit trade through counterfeiting and smuggling, FICCI CASCADE has been continuously campaigning against these activities. However, as the problem of counterfeiting and smuggling has led to more financial, economic and social crisis, we now need to revisit, rethink and test new approaches to this socio-economic challenge.
FICCI CASCADE has started a youth movement across the country to spread awareness among the young minds and seek their support to underpin the fight against counterfeiting and smuggling. Such a movement has offered the opportunity to bring in more people, particularly youngsters to push forward its actions to curb counterfeiting and smuggling.
In order to pick the brain of the youth, FICCI CASCADE organised an on-the-spot Elocution Competition for students on the theme “Youth Against Counterfeiting and Smuggling” on 12th May, 2014 at 10:00 am at FICCI Federation House, Tansen Marg, New Delhi.
The key objective of the competition was to inspire the youth to take required actions to discourage and stop the purchase of counterfeit and smuggled goods.
The contest witnessed enthusiastic and active participation of 60+ school and college students most of whom were very impressive in expressing their concern on and the need to curb these illegal trade practices. The competition provided a unique stage to the young minds to express their views on diverse issues like “Terrorism Financing through Smuggling”, “India – A Victim of Smuggling”, “India’s Brand Integrity at Stake due to Counterfeiting and Smuggling” etc…
Ms. Oorja Mishra from Basava International School and Ms. Pavneet Kaur from Skyline Business School won the first prizes in the elocution competition in the school and college categories, respectively. All the winners will be felicitated at a formal function on “World Anti Counterfeiting Day 2014” at FICCI with certificates of recognition as well as cash awards.
