Dharamshala recently hosted the prestigious Shining Star Awards 4.0, where more than 600 exceptional students from Classes X and XII were celebrated for achieving scores of 85% and above in their board exams. The event, held at the Degree College Auditorium, featured an inspiring address from Dronacharya, which resonated deeply with students, parents, and educators.

During his speech, Rajinder Rana, Head of the Computer Science Department at Dronacharya, highlighted that genuine education transcends mere grades, focusing instead on fostering discipline, resilience, and curiosity. He commended the award recipients for their dedication and reminded them that their accomplishments serve as a foundation for future responsibilities.

“Each medal you earn today symbolizes not only your academic success but also the expectations society has for you as leaders of progress. The future of Himachal Pradesh is in your hands, and with determination, you can pave the way for future generations,” he stated.

Dronacharya also recognized the invaluable contributions of parents and teachers, acknowledging their unwavering support in the journeys of these young achievers. He encouraged students to stay humble, appreciate their origins, and direct their abilities towards strengthening their communities.

This message aligned perfectly with the ethos of the Shining Star Awards, an initiative developed by a prominent news outlet and supported by partners such as Minerva Study Circle, HIET Group of Institutions, P3Y, and Digiperform. This collaboration aims to honor perseverance, dedication, and academic excellence throughout Himachal Pradesh.

As Dharamshala joins Palampur in establishing standards for recognition, the awards are set to expand across various districts, continuing their mission of motivation and inspiration.
