Introducing NETAD National Essay Competition

From the words of Sidney J. Harris, ‘Ninety per cent of the world's woe comes from people not knowing themselves, their abilities, their frailties, and even their real virtues. Most of us go almost all the way through life as complete strangers to ourselves’.


Network for Talent Discovery is therefore initiating its first national essay competition to tackle the menace of self misery, and calls on students, youths, administrators, writers, public servants and all stake holders to play their role in fighting the menace as stated by Sidney J. Harris and participate in the competition.

The topic for deliberation is ‘Self discovery; an impetus to national development’.

To participate, write an essay of not more than 750 words on the above topic. Send a copy of the essay and personal details – typed in Microsoft Word – to netad.ngo@gmail.com.
