NEW DELHI - Search engine Google displayed a special doodle on its India home page Sunday to celebrate Children’s Day, the birth anniversary of the country’s first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru.

Google had organised a ‘Doodle 4 Google’ competition in September for students of classes I to X. Students had to submit their doodles, along with a supporting statement.

Akshay Raj, a 14-year-old student from Mangalore, won the contest.

His doodle ‘Technically and Naturally Growing India’ was chosen from over 108,000 sketches submitted from across the country. It was selected on the basis of artistic merit, creativity, and expression of the theme, a statement released by Google said.

The company organises such events regularly all over the globe, where participants are asked to sketch the company’s logo in their own way, based on a particular theme.
