Event Organised By Birla White: Birla White Yuva Ratna Awards

Birla White Yuva Ratna Awards competition, for students, has been instrumental in showcasing national talent for 5 consecutive years, from 2004–2008. An outstanding portray of designs in varied themes stands testimony to the same.

2009 saw the Birla White Yuva Ratna Awards take a giant leap in our sui generis initiative by reaching out to many foreign students from member SAARC countries, going international for first time ever! The number and type of entries received stand testimony to the renewed format, which was very well received and appreciated by both, the students and faculty of various colleges of architecture. The overwhelming participation by foreign university students set high standards for the competition. Also, the idea influx helped improve design understanding among peers and put the students at par with international trends.

Themed around the use of Birla White products and initiatives, the award aims to be catalytic in providing an opportunity to aspiring architects and designers to unleash their potential. The competition brief for 2009 was the ‘Global Knowledge Centre’ and ‘Media Knowledge Centre;’ in which participants were expected to showcase their intellectual understanding of housing ‘knowledge’ in a centre of excellence. This book includes published drawings of top National and Zonal winners across categories. It is an attempt to bring forth the enthusiasm and creative acumen of young minds, which are brimming with ideas that take on a life of their own.
