Nearly 500 meritorious Class X and XII students from various schools of the Nurpur area, who secured 85% and above in their board examinations, were felicitated at a grand function held at Jyoti Palace, Nurpur.
The awardees, representing both government and private institutions, were accompanied by proud parents and teachers. Hon’ble MLA Nurpur, Sh. Ranbir Singh Nikka ji, personally presented the awards, lauding the students for their perseverance and academic excellence.
The initiative was supported by Minerva Study Circle, Ghumarwain and Dharamshala, with associate partners including HIET Group of Institutions, P3Y, Dronacharya, and Digiperform.
Speaking on the occasion, BS Pathania, MD of Dronacharya, assured that financially weak students would be welcomed at their institute with special support to pursue higher education. He also expressed gratitude to Sh. Ranbir Singh Nikka ji for always extending his support to him and his institute, and thanked The Newz Radar for conceptualising this inspiring initiative.
Conceptualised by The Newz Radar, Himachal Pradesh’s leading English digital news platform, the Shining Star Awards 4.0 is more than an award ceremony—it is a movement dedicated to uplifting and recognising young achievers.
Carrying forward the successful legacy of its 2023, 2024, and 2025 editions, the awards continue to celebrate perseverance, hard work, and academic brilliance among Himachali youth, while fostering student well-being beyond academics.
With Palampur, Dharamshala, Chamba and now Nurpur setting benchmarks this season, the Shining Star Awards 4.0 will soon travel to other districts across Himachal Pradesh, continuing its mission of recognition and encouragement.
