The Grand Finale of "Stellar Space Quiz 2025," one of India's biggest inter-school quiz contests with a space theme, was hosted at IIT Kharagpur Research Park in Newtown to honour this momentous accomplishment and to encourage schoolchildren to pursue science and space exploration. Selected top schools from throughout the

nation participated in the tournament, which was planned by Edudigm STEMpowered, an effort of IIT Kharagpur alumni. Rajiv Agarwal, Founder and CEO of the organisation, stated that this is the first extensive national school quiz in India with a space theme.
