would be asked 60 marks questions on various Laws relating to crime
against women.

of Child Marriage Act, 2006, Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace
(Preevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 among others.

the second the third spot winners would get Rs 3,100 and Rs 2,100
respectively. Also a trophy and certificate would be given to them,
while 20 other participants would get consolation prizes.
