TV personalities Mini Mathur and Cyrus Sahukar have united after 4 years to host the integrated school quiz show – Discovery School Super League (DSSL). Conceptualised at a never-before scale, the on-ground leg of DSSL has reached out to an unprecedented 12,300 plus schools touching over 43 lakh students in the age-group of 8 to 14 years across the nation. The quiz will feature teams from 29 states and 1 Union Territory (Delhi).
“I’m a complete quiz head and love being part of shows which unearth the true hidden knowledge potential of children of India. The role of a quizmaster is not as simple as it may seem – one needs to make the children comfortable and unintimidated so that they are unfazed with the occasion and can remember their facts as and when the time arises... and yet keep the energy of the game high,” said Mini Mathur in a statement.
“The scale of DSSL is amazing. The fact that the on-ground phase touched more than 43 lakh children, and only 60 made it to the TV round tells you a deeper story that the standard of quiz would be very high; the competition intense” added Cyrus.
The six-episode phase of DSSL premieres April 28 on Discovery Channel, Discovery HD World, Discovery Science, and Discovery Kids
