Today Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini (RMP) organised an online press conference to launch India’s first twitter-thread competition called “#Tweet4Bharat.”
Ravindra Sathe, Director General of RMP addressed the
press. He introduced the background of this idea and added “since 1982, as part
of its ‘Public Awakening’ mission; RMP has been working to shape the public
discourse through seminars and events. The objective of “#Tweet4Bharat” is to encourage and motivate youngsters to use
‘twitter threads’ to write, discuss and deliberate on important issues of
national importance. The topics selected
for the competition are a) National Integration b) Social Justice c) Gender
Equality. The competition is open to all twitter users and is being conducted
in Hindi, English and Marathi.”
“It begins on 1st August 2020 marking Lokmanya Tilak’s
death centenary and will close on 10th Aug.” Sathe added.
Siddharth Kulkarni a popular twitter user and team
member of the Tweet4Bharat further added that “The twitter-threads will be
judged and awarded in three categories namely, Jury Choice (based on content),
Twitterati choice (based on popularity) and Creative Presentation award (based
on creativity in presentation). The winners will be decided by an eminent jury
consisting of leaders from various walks of life. The results will be declared
on 12th Aug by 6pm. Apart from attractive cash prizes, the top 27 winners of #Tweet4Bharat will present their views
live at the high-powered Online National Conclave on the pre-Independence Day
