The launch of India's "Children's Day" celebrations coincided with the announcement of the Doodle for Google competition winners by tech giant Google. Shlok Mukherjee of West Bengal won the competition for kids in classes 1 through 10, which attracted over 115,000 entries from more than 100 Indian cities. Shlok expressed his aspirations for India's scientific advancements to pick up speed in the upcoming years in his doodle, "India on the centre stage." According to a press release from Google, "We were especially thrilled that the growth of technology and sustainability emerge as common themes throughout many of the Doodles."

He explains his doodle in the following words: "In the next 25 years, my India will have scientists construct their own eco-friendly robot for the betterment of humanity." He studies in Delhi Public School in Newtown, Kolkata. "India will frequently travel between the stars, departing from Earth. In the upcoming years, India will grow stronger and continue to advance in the fields of yoga and ayurveda"

According to Google, a panel of judges, which included well-known individuals like Kuriakose Vaisian, Editor-in-Chief of Tinkle Comics, selected 20 doodles for online voting. Google used "artistic value, inventiveness, alignment with the contest theme, and uniqueness and novelty of the approach" as the criterion for selecting the best submissions from among hundreds of others..
