1st-10th standard where they were given the freedom to imagine their
own version of the Google logo, inspired by the theme "My India"
its first 'made in India' Doodle.
Doodles : innovative logos which google place on his homepage called 'Doodles'.
A Class 4 student of Gurgaon will have his doodle featured on Google
all day Nov 14. This is the first time that a 'made in India' doodle
will be featured on the popular search engine.Beating a good 4,000
other competitors, Puru Pratap Singh's doodle is based on the theme
'My India - Full of Life'.
Singh's winning entry is a riot of colour laden with aesthetics and
deep seated meaning - exactly what Google doodles are all about.
Explaining his doodle, Singh said: "India is a country which has a
blend of thousands of traditions and all religions like Hinduism,
Christianity, Sikhism and Islam. It has developed a lot in the past
few years. The discovery of water on the moon by the Indian scientists
is a proof to this fact.""The Indian culture is as vibrant as the
colours of the peacock. Kashmir, the crown of India, is as serene as
the peace bird and as pure as the lotus. We, the Indian citizens are
also trying to fulfill Mahatma Gandhi's dream of educating each and
every Indian child," he added.
In August this year, Google India decided to unleash the creativity of
thousands of children in India with a doodling competition called
Doodle4Google.Open to students from Class 1 to 10, the contest was
judged by a panel of judges that comprised renowned cartoonist N.
Ponnappa, artist Raghava K.K. and the faculty of the National
Institute of Design, Ahmedabad.
For over a decade, Google has been designing doodles for its homepage
and Dennis Hwang - the master doodler - has been driving this
innovation.Besides having his doodle featured on the Google homepage
all day on Children's Day, Singh has also been awarded a laptop
computer, a t-shirt with his doodle and Rs.100,000 technology grant
