A belief that every citizen deserves to know their country, inside out
India's Constitution was never meant to sit on a shelf. It belongs in conversation — in classrooms, in ration-shop queues, in the questions we ask the people who represent us. This quiz platform is the Indian National Congress's attempt to put that belief into practice: a place where any citizen, in Hindi or English, on a smartphone or a shared desktop, can test what they actually know about the country they live in — and leave knowing a little more than they did five minutes earlier. No paywalls, no jargon, no fine print. Just questions worth asking, and answers worth having.
“A democracy stays alive only when its citizens remain informed and engaged.”
Behind every quiz sits a small, deliberately unglamorous process. A working group of educators, historians, and public-policy researchers drafts each set of questions, checks every fact against primary sources — the Constitution's own text, government reports, parliamentary records — and rewrites anything that reads more like a textbook than a conversation worth having. We would rather publish ten fewer questions than one wrong one. That discipline is why teachers use this platform in their classrooms, why first-time voters use it before their first election, and why even long-time party workers still learn something new from it.
What began as a modest pilot with a few thousand participants across five states has since grown into a genuinely national effort — reaching lakhs of citizens in every state and Union Territory, available in Hindi and English, and used everywhere from Panchayat offices to college hostels. Every attempt taken, every certificate earned, every prize awarded is a small act of civic participation — proof that curiosity about one's own country isn't a niche interest, but something lakhs of Indians already share.
This is still early days. The plan ahead is simple: more languages, more state- and local-issue content, and more ways for citizens — not just party workers — to help shape what gets asked next. If you've ever wondered how a bill actually becomes law, what your Panchayat is legally required to do for you, or why a particular scheme exists in the first place — there's a quiz here for you, and there will be more tomorrow.
