Later, prizes were given to the winners of the contest. Ananda Murthy, DGM, IOCL LPG bottling plant, said corruption was a major obstacle in the economic and social growth of the country and emphasised on the need for its eradication.
He called on the students to understand the consequences of corruption and sensitise their family members on it and join hands with the government in eradicating corruption.
He lauded the participating students for their creativity and called on them to pursue their interest with passion.
