The Nation Builders

A National Article Writing Competition Celebrating Educators & Nation-Building

The Nation Builders is an annual national-level article writing competition organized by Youthisthan Foundation to commemorate Teacher’s Day and celebrate the transformative role of educators in shaping society. Initiated in 2023, this competition draws inspiration from the wisdom of the Rig Veda—"Let noble thoughts come to us from all sides"—and the enduring values of India’s Guru-Shishya tradition.

With a heartfelt tribute to great educators like Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, The Nation Builders invites passionate voices from across the country to share compelling perspectives on the role of teachers in nation-building. Open to all, this platform encourages reflective thought, civic consciousness, and a renewed appreciation for those who dedicate their lives to nurturing minds.
