On 26th July 2014 the Prime Minister of India launched MyGov, a citizen engagement platform enabling the people of India to contribute towards good governance by sharing their thoughts, ideas and suggestions. Since its launch MyGov has generated a phenomenal response across the nation. Registrations have reached a record high as citizens are making their contribution towards nation building through this platform.

Among the most innovative facets of MyGov is the Creative Corner, where various ministries can seek creative inputs for logos, captions etc. pertaining to their departments.

In the creative corner the Finance Ministry has shared a task where they seek a logo, name and tagline for the Ministry’s initiative to provide inclusive financial services to the people of India particularly the poorest of the poor. The last date of submission is 7th August 2014 and the winning entry would be awarded a cash prize of Rs. 50,000.

“सुप्रसिद्ध लोक गायिका शारदा सिन्हा जी के निधन से अत्यंत दुख हुआ है। उनके गाए मैथिली और भोजपुरी के लोकगीत पिछले कई दशकों से बेहद लोकप्रिय रहे हैं। आस्था के महापर्व छठ से जुड़े उनके सुमधुर गीतों की गूंज भी सदैव बनी रहेगी। उनका जाना संगीत जगत के लिए एक अपूरणीय क्षति है। शोक की इस घड़ी में मेरी संवेदनाएं उनके परिजनों और प्रशंसकों के साथ हैं। ओम शांति!”
