About 500 meritorious Class X and XII students of around various schools of Nurpur area who have secured 85 per cent and above marks in their board examination were awarded in the function, which was organised at Jyoti Palace in Nurpur . The students, both from private and government schools, were accompanied by their parents and teachers.
Hon. MLA Nurpur , Sh. Ranbir Singh Nikka ji, presented the awards to the students.
Supported by Minerva Study Circle , Ghumarwain and Dharamshala and associate partner HIET Group of Institutions, P3Y , Dronacharya and Digiperform , the awards series continues to grow in both reach and impact.
Gracing the occassion, Sh. Ranbir Singh Nikka ji Said ” Standing before you at the Shining Star Awards, I am reminded of my own journey. I often recall how I once had only 100 rupees in my pocket. From those humble beginnings, through sleepless nights and struggles with poverty, I worked tirelessly to set up my business. Step by step, I built my life, and today I stand here not only as a businessman but also as a politician serving my people.
If I could rise from such mere conditions, then why not you—the shining stars ? You, who have secured excellent marks, who are capable of achieving everything you set your mind to. Your talent, your hard work and your determination are your greatest assets.
Education is not just about marks; it is about building confidence, character and courage. You are the future of Himachal Pradesh, and I believe that each one of you has the power to transform your dreams into reality.
Remember, success does not come overnight. It demands sacrifice, discipline, and perseverance. I spent nights worrying about poverty, but those sleepless nights became the fuel for my determination. Let your challenges become your strength.
As you receive these awards today, take them not just as recognition of your academic achievements, but as a reminder of your responsibility—to your family, to your society and to your nation.”
