About This Opportunity
The Dhai Akhar National Level Letter Writing Competition – Envelope Category is a flagship annual contest organized by the Department of Posts, Government of India, aimed at rekindling the culture of handwritten communication in the digital era.
In this category, participants pen their thoughts on the given yearly theme and send their entries inside a properly addressed and stamped envelope. Unlike the Inland Letter Card format, the Envelope Category allows more creative freedom — writers can choose their own stationery, layout, and presentation while ensuring neat handwriting and thematic coherence.
Each letter is expected to reflect the writer’s individuality, emotional depth, and commitment to the theme inspired by Gandhian philosophy. Entries are accepted in English, Hindi, or recognized Indian languages, and evaluated for creativity, language, structure, and sincerity of expression. This category encourages citizens, especially students, to appreciate the art of traditional correspondence and connect with others meaningfully through the written word.
With substantial cash prizes and national recognition, the Envelope Category of the Dhai Akhar competition stands as a proud tribute to India’s cultural heritage and the enduring beauty of the handwritten letter.
