NationalCreativityOlympiad
We believe that every child is born talented, that every child is creative and that every child is an
achiever.Thatoureducationprocessesoftenfailtoidentifythechildstalent,leavealonenurtureit,
isafailureofthesystemandnotthechild.Thisisperhapsduetotheobsessionoftheeducational
system with linguistic and mathematical abilities and an assessment process that often seems to
labelchildrenwithrotememoriesasintelligentandothersasnot.
Mostassessmentprocessesbecomeamotivationaltoolforafewanddisempoweringfortherest.It
is well established that people in general and children in particular repeat the behavior that is
rewarded. Unfortunately, this labeling result in a select few children being rewarded and the
majority of the children feel ignored and often rejected. Also, once so labeled, it is the select few

inclination to improve upon the same and search for resources in that direction. Given an
appropriateenvironmentthiswillleadtoenhancedcreativityandachievementmotivation.

TheOutcome
The Olympiad will assess the creativity quotient of a child and his/her level of achievement
motivation. By participating in this Olympiad, the child shall get sensitized to the importance of
these factors and their role in shaping ones future. This will also sensitize the teachers to foster
these competencies in the child. Once so oriented, the child shall seek out resources to develop
creative thinking and enhance achievement motivation. Edward De Beno and David Mc Clleland
have conclusively proved that both creativity and achievement motivation can be significantly
enhanced by appropriate interventions. The starting point clearly is an assessment. This is the
primary objectives of this Olympiad one, to sensitize the child and two, to appeal to his /her
competitivespirittomakeanachieverofthechild.
