A QUESTION FOR YOUWhat will you discover?
WHAT IS GYAN KALA KUMBH?
A question can open a world of possibilities.
It began as a student quiz programme in Saharanpur, bringing schools and young minds together on one stage. Our ambition is to carry that spirit to more children across India—encouraging them to ask, think and grow.
What do children do?

THE JOURNEY SO FAR · 2026
From Saharanpur, a stage for young minds.
The 2026 Saharanpur programme included a quiz finale with questions, buzzer rounds and recognition of students. The finale was streamed by Cityweb on 3 May 2026. Future editions may have different formats and awards.
QUESTIONS FAMILIES ASK
Let’s make the next step clear.
Choose a question to read the answer.
Can a parent register a child?
Yes. A parent can create an account, add a child’s profile and register that child when an eligible competition opens. Creating a profile alone does not register the child.
How can a school help its students?
A school can add student profiles through the same participant account and register eligible children in groups of up to 25 at a time. The school guide explains preparation for coordinators.
Is the practice quiz the official exam?
No. Practice is for learning; its scores do not become official competition results. Scheduled official exams appear separately in the dashboard after registration.
When will the next competition happen?
The organiser has not confirmed the next edition’s dates and rules here. Check the participant dashboard and this page for an announcement.
What should I know before an online exam?
Read the exam instructions before starting. Leaving fullscreen or changing tabs or apps can end an attempt. The organiser will announce the device requirements and rules for each edition.

01 / LOOK UP
Why is the sky blue?
Sunlight has many colours. Air scatters blue light more strongly than red light, so a clear daytime sky usually looks blue.
