Horizons 2006 would see industry stalwarts, policy makers, and thought leaders analyze the opportunities and challenges that India faces. Horizons 2006 is an attempt to gauge the future of India by questioning the existing assumptions and separating the hype from reality.

As part of the conclave, Horizons presents “Lord of the Words”, a two stage competition, the first round of which is an essay writing contest, based on which three teams will be shortlisted for Round II. The topic for the essay is the same as the theme for “Horizons 2006” i.e. “The dawn of an Indian Century?”

In round II, the 3 shortlisted teams will be invited for the debate round, which is to be held during “Horizons 2006” at the Institute’s campus. Here, the teams will debate their way to become the “Lord of the Words”.

The prize money at stake is:

First Prize: Rs.15, 000
Second Prize: Rs.10, 000

The last date for entries is: October 9, 2006.
