Nearly 400 meritorious students were felicitated at the prestigious TNR Shining Star Awards in Nahan (covering Sirmaur district) on Thursday (July 4, 2024), the event having elicited massive response from Class 10 and Class 12 pupils who recently cleared their board examination scoring 85 per cent or higher marks.
Himachal Pradesh Industries Minister Harshwardhan Chauhan, a five-term MLA from Shillai in Sirmaur district, was the Chief Guest. Chauhan encouraged the students to give their 100 per cent in whichever field they chose to build their career.
Though the registrations for the event were to begin at 9 am, students started arriving early morning and long queues were seen outside the venue — SFDA Hall (opposite Zila Parishad Office) in Nahan.
The Newz Radar, the trusted and only English digital news network based in Himachal Pradesh, has so far organised the Shining Star Awards in Kangra, Chamba, Kullu, Mandi, Bilaspur, Una, Hamirpur and Nahan.
Team TNR is now heading to Solan for its next episode on July 6 in which Chief Parliamentary Secretary Sanjay Awasthy, who is an MLA from Arki, will be the Chief Guest.
The TNR Shining Star Awards were instituted in 2023 to celebrate the extraordinary academic achievements of the young brains, among them several from ordinary backgrounds.
The aim behind organising the Shining Star Awards is to connect with the bright minds and foster a constructive society, says Sunil Chadha, Executive Editor at The Newz Radar. He avers that it’s a must to honour students, their parents and teachers who have worked hard for years to achieve such academic milestones.
