As you are aware, the Know India
Programme (KIP) has become one of the important initiatives of the
Government of India to promote India’s engagement with PIOs across
the globe. Since 2004, the KIP has had 53 editions with almost 2000
participants.
To make it more dynamic and
interactive, something that PIO youth would aspire for, the
Government of India has decided to have a logo designed for the KIP.
In this regard, it has been decided to hold a global
contest for designing the KIP Logo
with participation for the
India diaspora. We look for a logo that is creative, innovative,
professional and expresses sentiments behind the KIP initiative.
The contest will be open to all PIOs,
irrespective of their age, nationality, gender, generation etc. The
winner will be selected by the Ministry of External Affairs,
Government of India and will be awarded with the grand
prize of 25 days fully sponsored tour to India.
