Muhammad Bilal Ehsan —Myth Buster

Hafiz Muhammad Bilal Ehsan, a student of grad IX at the Government Boys Secondary School, Younasabad; has made his school proud by winning a Karachi wide quiz competition —‘Challenge to Everyone’ — organized by ‘Helping Hand Trust’.

“We were informed in the school about the competition. Some students were selected for trials. When the in-school trials took place, three out of six students were selected to represent the school; I was selected to represent the school for the quiz competition.” shared Bilal. From district South (Karachi), 14 schools participated and Bilal stood first in the district. He was awarded the ‘district winning belt’ and qualified for the next round of the competition.

For the Karachi crown, there were participants from all the six districts. Bilal was the only participant from a government school, while all other participants were from the private schools. “We were given three themes by the organizers — ‘The creation of Pakistan’, ‘The evolution in the constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan’ and ‘Pakistan’s resources’. The competition got withdrawal amongst the three finalists. And we were [then] asked the out-of-theme questions” said Bilal. “I was under the impression that the participants from the private schools would out-class me in the final round but it turned out a good fight.” He added.

Bilal was declared the ‘Karachi Winner’ of the competition, restoring the faith in resilience and hard work of the government school students.
