The fourth edition of the Shining Star Awards witnessed an overwhelming turnout in Palampur on Sunday.

Approximately 500 outstanding students from Class X and XII, representing various schools in the Palampur region, were honored for achieving 85% or higher in their board examinations. The ceremony took place at Villa Camellia, where students from both private and government institutions attended alongside their parents and teachers.

The awards were presented by Ashish Butail, the MLA of Palampur and former CPS.

This initiative, supported by Minerva Study Circle from Ghumarwain and Dharamshala, along with partner institutions like HIET Group of Institutions, P3Y, Dronacharya, and Digiperform, continues to expand its influence and reach.

Pushpindra Mahajan, a representative of P3Y, stated, "At P3Y, we believe education is the foundation of empowerment. These young achievers exemplify that when knowledge aligns with determination, the possibilities are endless. Their paths in engineering, medicine, arts, or entrepreneurship will not only shape their futures but also impact our state's and nation's destiny."

She further elaborated, "P3Y aims to empower individuals to achieve mental balance, physical health, and spiritual harmony through the ancient wisdom of Sanatan Param Vigyan. Our goal is to help people live stress-free, healthy lives while nurturing not just academic success but also inner peace, compassion, and resilience, spreading the P3Y System globally to transform lives and promote a culture of health and happiness."

The Shining Star Awards 4.0, conceptualized by a leading digital news platform in Himachal Pradesh, is more than just an award ceremony; it represents a movement aimed at recognizing and uplifting young talent.

Continuing the legacy of previous editions in 2023, 2024, and 2025, this initiative celebrates the hard work and academic achievements of Himachali youth, promoting well-being and excellence beyond academics.

Sunil Chadha, the Executive Editor, highlighted the broader vision behind the awards: "We are here to not only celebrate merit but also to cultivate a future with these bright individuals. They are our strength, and this recognition marks just the beginning of their journey."

With Palampur setting a high standard, the Shining Star Awards 4.0 will soon extend its reach to other districts in Himachal Pradesh, continuing its mission of recognition and encouragement.
