For last around 15 years, I was attending the Tripurainfo Mega Quiz, which has now become now a big annual event of Tripura and parents are found waiting to send their children for participation in the Tripurainfo Mega Quiz. Initially dating back 16 years ago, I was not interested in attending the Tripurainfo Mega Quiz . Now, because of friend Shri Nandu Panikar (popularly known as " QUIZ MASTER Nandu babu” started to attend programmes in 2010. Year to year, it is visualized by me that Quiz masters and participants have improved a lot in the true sense of the term " intellectual pursuit " making it one of the finest programmes of Tripura. Initially Nandu's doctor brother, who was one of the finest 'Eye Specialist" of Tripura was the one of the creators or thinkers for organizing of the Tripurainfo Mega Quiz . Now, his brother is from abroad to participate in the programme ' love for Tripura and love for the Tripurainfo Mega Quiz . These are undeniable facts.
In this context, it would not be out of place to mention here that India’s quizzing movement has been shaped by legendary figures like Siddhartha Basu, often hailed as the Father of Indian Quizzing. Through shows such as Quiz Time, Mastermind India, and University Challenge India, Basu brought quizzing to mainstream television and later produced Kaun Banega Crorepati, which became one of India’s most loved knowledge-based shows. Similarly, Derek O’Brien, with his energetic hosting of the Bournvita Quiz Contest, made quizzing a household name among students. Pickbrain, through his company Greycaps, revolutionized corporate and live quizzing across India and abroad. Today, the live quizzing scene continues to thrive with quizmasters like Major Chandrakant Nair, Arul Mani, Dr. Navin Jayakumar, and Goutam Bose, admired for their sharp research and engaging styles. The new generation, including Surya Narayanan, Bodhanapu Vishnu, Ami Goradia, and Parnab Mukherjee, has added innovation through paperless formats, digital tools, and multimedia rounds. Tripura's Shri Nandu Panikar and Shri Avijit Bhattacharjee are conducting QUIZ with national level standards. Not only standards of QUIZ but participation in the Tripurainfo Mega Quiz 2025 and enthusiasm amongst all works of society are unparalleled in comparison with any events of creativity.
For students and aspirants of competitive examinations, events like the Tripurainfo Mega Quiz serve a deeper purpose. They nurture analytical thinking, recall, confidence, and teamwork, essential skills for academic and career success. Quizzing helps strengthen understanding, promotes active learning, and builds decision-making ability. It encourages healthy competition and provides instant feedback that helps students identify their strengths and weaknesses ahead of exams.
Quizzes also make learning enjoyable. They break the monotony of textbooks and lectures, turning education into an interactive and rewarding experience. Many students who have participated in past editions of the Tripurainfo Mega Quiz say it helped them develop a positive and competitive mindset useful for their academic and professional growth.
In the digital age, quizzing has expanded beyond classrooms and television studios. Platforms like Kahoot! and Sporcle have brought trivia to millions of homes and schools, while shows such as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, Jeopardy!, and India’s Tata Crucible continue to inspire knowledge-seekers worldwide.
As Agartala prepares to host the Tripurainfo Mega Quiz 2025, the event stands as a proud symbol of how curiosity, teamwork, and the love of learning can unite people of all ages.

It has multiplier benefits for all so far as creativity and developing the right mindset.
