Posted on: 09/08/2024 Last Date to Register : 15/09/2024Background: Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is the National Standards Body of India involved in Standardization, Conformity Assessment, Laboratory Testing, Training and other related activities. Through its activities, BIS ensures the products available in the market are complying to the requirements of Indian Standards, thereby ensuring quality, health, and safety of common consumers. BIS also carries out Standards Promotion activities for creating awareness among common consumers, industries, students on Indian Standards and BIS certified products. Occasionally BIS has been conducting Quiz on the theme of Quality and Standards for creating awareness. To further create mass awareness among the stakeholders, more online activities are envisaged.
Description: The awareness of quality and standards is very important in infrastructural and social development of the country. For Standards Promotion, BIS engages with the stakeholders broadly classified as Government Stakeholders, Industries, Consumers and Academia through various activities and programs like Quality Connect, Manak Mahotsav, Manak Manthan, Capsule Course, Gram Panchayat Sensitization, State Level Committee on Standardization, District Level Official Sensitization, State Level Officials Sensitization, Consumer Awareness Programs, Resident Welfare Association Sensitization, Licensee meets, Industry and Industry Association Meetings, Standards Clubs and its activities, Exposure Visits, Mentor Training, Resource Personnel Training, Science Teacher Training, etc. To engage various stakeholders, BIS has also been organizing online activities like Quiz Competitions for students and general public alike.
Online activities help engage large number of stakeholders with activities of BIS with the comfort of their location, while also disseminating useful information regarding quality and standards. BIS has conducted few online Quiz Competitions on the topic of Quality and Standards. More attractive and though-provoking online activities should further increase the awareness and understanding of quality and Indian Standards.
The online activity may include various aspects of BIS activities in its effort to increase awareness and quality consciousness. The activities, games can be time bound, or perpetual. The activity could be held by BIS on various special occasions like World Standards Day, World Consumer Rights Day, Foundation Day etc with or without rewarding system. The participation in these activities may be in excess of 5 Lakhs.
