Jagriti was a grand success with over 150 students from various schools including Choithram International, MBS Academy and Laurels International, participating in the competition. The essay writing competition was open for children from class 5th to 10th and the entries could be submitted in either English or Hindi.

The winners of the competition will be felicitated at IIM Indore on 2nd Oct. 2010 along with the winners of Indore Marathon 2010. The top 3 entries of each group (5th-7th standard and 8th - 10th standard) will be given prizes. Also, the top 10 essays will be published in the Indore Marathon website. All the participants will be presented with participation certificates.

Immediately after the essay competition, a session on "What After 10th?" was conducted by IIM Indore. The session aimed at making students aware of the career options available after 10th to help them make an informed choice. Though, the session was initially planned for students of 9th & 10th standard, many enthusiastic students from 8th standard also attended it. The interaction was highly fulfilling for both, the speakers as well as the students, with many important questions being raised by the latter.
