Children’s Day in India and Google India is ongoing its convention of introducing the doodle by winner of its Doodle 4 Google competition on the Google India home page. “Happy Children’s Day! Meet the Doodle for Google winner!”, declares the hover text when you hover your mouse over the doodle image, and search results for “Children’s Day in India” are shown when you click the doodle on desktop or tap it on mobile.
The doodle featured on the Google India home page on the occasion of Children’s Day2016 is that by 11-year-old Pune girl Anvita Prashant Telang, who was announced as the national winner of the “Doodle 4 Google” contest last week. The sixth standard student from Vibgyor High School in Balewadi area was chosen for her Doodle submission on the theme titled “If I could teach anyone anything, it would be”.
Twelve doodles created by kids across India were qualified as national finalists of the 8th edition of Google’s annual Doodle 4 Google (D4G) competition. The entries that came from over 50 cities across the country were valued on artistic merit, creativity and theme message as well as their unique and novel tactic to the Doodle. All D4G applicants are grouped into three categories: Group 1 comprising students from Class 1 to 3; Group 2 with students from Class 4 to 6; and Group 3 with students from Class 7 to 10. Google then invited everyone to help choose the winner by voting for their favorite doodle to select one winner from each group. Online voting was open from November 2 to November 2010.
