Every year on 14 November, India celebrates Children’s Day, a day to honour the curiosity and boundless imagination of young minds. This year, IP4Kids, a CSR initiative of S.S. Rana & Co., in collaboration with GLIPA India (Global Intellectual Property Alliance), invited school and college students across India to pick up their pens and paintbrushes for the Children’s Day 2026 Essay Writing and Poster Making Competitions.
The challenge was to explore how Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) shape the world around us. Participants chose from three themes:
- ⚽ Intellectual Property in My Favourite Sport
- 🤖 Intellectual Property, Artificial Intelligence, and Deepfakes
- 🧸 Intellectual Property in a Child’s World
The response was overwhelming! Entries poured in from every corner of the country, each full of fresh ideas, sharp thinking and creativity. A heartfelt thank you to every participant who took the time to imagine, write, draw and celebrate original thinking with us. 🌟
