Chandigarh 15th October:- Seven Seas, Merck’s heritage brand announced the launch
of its novel educational initiative, the Seven Seas Academy - a
nationwide hunt for India’s young masterminds. Through this activity,
Seven Seas reached out to more than 60,000 students across 200 schools in 10
cities including Chandigarh, where more than 5000 students across 15 schools
alone were targeted.
30 bright students from
Chandigarh came together today for the city round of Seven Seas Academy.
Winners from reputed schools of Chandigarh competed against each other to
secure a spot in the Final Round in Mumbai and win a visit to NASA. Shishu
Niketan Public school, The New Public School, Gurunanak Khalsa sr sec school,
DC Model School, Bhawan Vidayala, DCM SCHOOL and Gurukul Global School were
some of the schools which were a part of this initiative, aiming to create
awareness on the importance of brain development, a key concern area for
parents.
Students competing at the city
round of Seven Seas Academy included 23 boys and 7 girls who won their
respective school level competition. A child’s brain development today is one
of the most important aspects of their growth, with our research suggesting
that most mothers today are concerned about how their children will excel
academically. There is intense competition, leading to high levels of parental
and peer pressure and every mother looks for solutions to ensure her children
excel. Seven
Seas is supporting parents on their quest to find the right supplement for
their child’s brain development. With heritage that spans more than 80 years of
experience and a presence in over 100 countries, Seven Seas is one of India’s
most trusted health supplements.
The campaign, spread over 3
phases, kick starts with a specially designed aptitude test conducted on the
school campus for grades 5th to 7th, where 2
students from each school move to the city round. At the city rounds as the
students compete for a place in the final. Parents get to participate in
workshops aimed at sharing useful tips. Post the city rounds, the competition
intensifies as the top 10 teams from each city battle it out at the grand
finale in Mumbai in mid-November 2016.
Students will be assessed on
their general knowledge, logical reasoning and data interpretation skills. Whilst
students at each level will be recognized for their participation, the
finalists will win iPads and Kindles. The winners of the Grand Finale--the 2
Seven Seas Masterminds will get a chance to win a full-paid trip to NASA. The
top 10 teams will also get to meet national award winning actor, Raveena
Tandon in person in Mumbai.
Speaking about this initiative, Anand Nambiar,
Managing Director, Merck India stated that Merck’s Seven Seas is one of
India’s most trusted health supplements, and the Seven Seas Academy is yet
another testament to our commitment to children’s health in India. With its
emphasis on brain development in children, the initiative aims to be a platform
that identifies nurtures and unlocks the true potential of India’s children, in
partnership with leading schools.
Nutrition is a critical
element of brain development. Seven Seas are committed to partnering with
parents in their child’s progress, and help children to be the best version of
themselves through its nutritional benefits.
