UNA: Himachal Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri has lauded Team The Newz Radar for their innovative social initiative Shining Star Awards. The initiative aims to encourage meritorious students, particularly those from humble backgrounds, by recognising their achievements.
As the Chief Guest at the Shining Star Awards in Una on Wednesday (June 26, 2024), Agnihotri praised TNR Political Editor Gopal S Puri and Executive Editor Sunil Chadha. He highlighted their remarkable accomplishments in journalism at a young age and commended their efforts to drive social change through Shining Star Awards.
“The Shining Star Awards are working wonders in motivating talented students from all walks of life,” said Agnihotri. He asked the meritorious students who were honoured to strike a balance between development and ecology so that the future generations could remain safe.
Una Deputy Commissioner Jatin Lal, who was the Special Guest, encouraged the students not to get deterred by challenges and strive towards excellence. Earlier, Gopal Puri and Sunil Chadha welcomed Mukesh Agnihotri and highlighted how he had developed infrastructure not only in his Assembly constituency Haroli but across Himachal Pradesh.
