In a remarkable display of knowledge, Suchetana Sen from the Delhi Public School was declared as one of the winners of The Telegraph Online Edugraph 18 under 18 Award 2024. Suchetana has emerged as a beacon of brilliance for her exceptional prowess in quizzing. She was the winner of episode 7 of ZEE Mind Wars, a national TV quiz show, hosted by Shreyas Talpade. Apart from participating in quiz competitions, she has also been the quizmaster for intra-school quiz competitions, prepared questions, and guided juniors.
Intrigued by the prospect of expressing her thoughts persuasively, this young girl debated on a national and international level. She is the founder and Chief Advisor of DPS Ruby Park’s first-ever Debating Society, comprising over 350+ members.
“It feels surreal. I have witnessed my seniors being a part of it, so it has always been something I aspired to achieve someday. Not only is it a recognition of my efforts, but having our honourable Chief Guest Mrs. Sudha Murthy grace the occasion with her presence has been a great experience. Her books have been at the epicentre of my quizzing pursuits, enhancing my knowledge of mythology and the Indian way of life. I was in awe of her simplicity and wisdom, unable to believe I was listening to one of the most influential visionaries of our time,” expresses Suchetana.
Suchetana, being a masterful debater, conducted mentorship sessions, and intra-school debates and moderated the inter-house debate for classes 9-10. Also, she bagged the first prize in the International Extempore Speech Competition, conducted by Notre Dame College, Bangladesh. Besides excelling in quiz competitions, she has also been a passionate advocate for menstrual health and hygiene.
On asking who she would like to thank for her achievements, she says, “Firstly, I would like to thank the Edugraph team for encouraging the youth through such an initiative, and my parents for being pillars of support. The amount of gratitude I convey to my teachers would always fall short. Thank you to my school, to Ma'am Anuradha Sen and Ma'am Saleha Khan, my debate and quiz mentors. They made me who I am.”

Using general knowledge to be socially aware, and voicing my opinions through debate and dialogue, I wish to reach out to more people,” signs off Suchetana. With her boundless potential and relentless determination, she is poised to leave an indelible mark behind.
As Suchetana continues to chart her course towards even greater heights, The Telegraph Online Edugraph congratulates her and wishes her success in her future endeavours.
