On 20th August 2025, the District Health & Family Welfare Department, Madikeri, organized a District Level Quiz Competition on HIV/AIDS Awareness for high school students. The event was aimed at spreading knowledge and sensitizing young minds about general health, personal hygiene, the National Health Mission, government health schemes, significant national health days, and awareness about HIV/AIDS. Cadet Shriyash Ghadage (Roll No. 1426) and Cadet Pranav Rao (Roll No. 1402) of Class X represented Sainik School Kodagu, who showcased outstanding brilliance in the competition. With their sharp presence of mind, excellent recall ability, and remarkable teamwork, they sailed through the thought-provoking rounds with confidence and determination. Competing against teams from several reputed schools across Kodagu District, our cadets displayed exemplary performance and emerged Champions, securing the First Position. Along with this remarkable achievement, they were awarded a cash prize of ₹6000 and, more importantly, earned the prestigious opportunity to represent Kodagu District at the upcoming State Level Quiz Competition. This proud achievement not only highlights the talent and hard work of our cadets but also reflects the school’s commitment to nurturing awareness and responsibility among students in vital areas of health and social welfare.
