To mark Teachers' Day, the Shikshan Vikas Manch of the Yashwantrao Chavan Centre has organized a state-level essay competition for teachers on the practical, conscious, and effective use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the teaching-learning process. The central theme of the competition is Conscious Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Teaching and Learning: My Experience.

Competition To Capture Real Classroom Experiences With AI Tools

Unlike traditional essay contests, this initiative aims to document teachers' real-world experiences with AI. Participating teachers are required to select a subject component and demonstrate their use of AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. The essay must detail the entire process—from crafting prompts and refining generated responses to verifying facts with official references, correcting errors, and securing satisfactory outcomes. Entrants are also expected to share experiential insights into the strengths, limitations, challenges, and importance of conscious AI usage.

The competition is open to active teachers in government-recognized schools teaching Grades 1 to 12. Retired teachers may also participate, though they will not be considered for prizes. Entries can be submitted in Marathi or English, with a limit of up to 300 words.
