Gaurav Rajput, Director Marketing, Aviva India, said, “At Aviva, we believe that “Education is Insurance” for a better future and therefore launch initiatives that are focused on helping children realize their dreams, whether through insurance products, Aviva Street to School initiative or scholarships for bright young minds. Launch of Aviva Young Scholar Hunt was a step in the same direction, and I am pleased that it received a phenomenal response from children as well as parents. I wish all the winners and participants good luck for their future aspirations”.
The Aviva Young Scholar Hunt, which was launched in June in association with POGO TV, received thousands of entries from children in the age group of 8 to 14 years in the initial few weeks itself. Children across the country logged on to www.pogo.tv or www.avivaindia.com to participate in the contest by answering some questions based on an experiment conducted by Prateek, the host of the popular F.A.Qs show on Pogo, and write a slogan. The on-ground activation programme for the contest, launched in 120 schools across Delhi, Bangalore and Mumbai, also generated a good response.
