Gen Y sees India’s future green and tech bright. This was highlighted at India’s second Doodle4Google competition held on November 13 in Mumbai. The theme for doodlers was to design their own creative version of the Google logo on My dream for India.
The winning doodle was titled Technically and Naturally Growing India. The blueprint belongs to Akshay Raj, grade IX student from Mangalore, who was chosen out of 41 semi-finalists as the national winner.
Very excited “My doodle is about India, which is technically and naturally developed. I feel very excited to have won the award”, says the 14-year-old.
