Step-by-step upload guide (school / teacher workflow)

Use this as the official school upload SOP. Follow each step exactly to avoid rejection.

Step 1 — School coordination & shortlisting (Before upload)

1. Announce Veer Gatha activity to students and collect entries (deadline internally: e.g., 25 Sept).

2. Teachers evaluate submissions locally using the judging criteria above. Shortlist top 4 (or fewer) — ensure variety across categories.

3. For each shortlisted entry, prepare metadata: Student name, Class, Section, School name, School address, UDISE code, Teacher name & contact, Title of entry, Short description (20–40 words).

4. Create a teacher verification PDF (1 page) that states: “I verify that the attached work is the original work of [Student Name].” Signed and stamped by Principal/Head.

Step 2 — Prepare files (naming & compression)

1. File naming convention (examples):

   • Poster: VeerGatha_Poster_Arjun_Class8_BhavanHS.png

   • Essay: VeerGatha_Essay_Nisha_Class9_BhavanHS.pdf

   • Video: VeerGatha_Video_Rahul_Class10_BhavanHS.mp4

2. Ensure poster resolution good for print (A4: 2480 × 3508 px) but compressed so file ≤10 MB. Save a high-res master copy locally.

3. Remove copyrighted music from videos. Use royalty-free music or original voiceover.

Step 3 — Login & portal access

1. Open the official upload portal used by your board (commonly MyGov or the board/Central nodal portal). Example link: https://www.mygov.in (schools often have a specific contest page or task).

2. Use the school’s nodal/registered account or the teacher’s institutional account. If the portal requires school registration, ensure the school is registered (UDISE or board credentials). Contact the board/nodal officer if not registered.

Step 4 — Fill the submission form

1. Select category (Poster / Essay / Video / Poem / Multimedia).

2. Enter metadata prepared in Step 1: Student name, class, school, UDISE, teacher details.

3. Upload the entry file and the teacher verification PDF.

4. Paste the short description (20–40 words) describing the submission. Keep it clear, factual and emotive. Example:
   “A poster tribute to Capt. Vikram Batra, capturing bravery at Point 4875 — by Arjun, Class 8, Bhavan HS.”

5. Confirm consent checkbox (if provided) — that the school has permission to submit and share the work publicly.

Step 5 — Review & submit

1. Carefully preview the uploaded file and metadata. Check for typos in names and UDISE.

2. Submit the form and note the submission ID/acknowledgement number. Screenshot the confirmation and save it in the school records.

3. If multiple files are being uploaded, repeat for each shortlisted entry (up to 4).

Step 6 — Post-submission

1. Share acknowledgement with the participating student & parent.

2. Keep the high-resolution original files and teacher verification signed copies for audit.

3. Monitor email/portal for evaluation updates; winners are usually informed via the portal/official mail.
