The highly anticipated Shining Star Awards 4.0 began today, June 17, 2026, at the Degree College Auditorium in Dharamshala, honoring outstanding students from Class 10 and Class 12.

The event will be graced by Rajesh Sharma, Chairman of HPBOSE, who will serve as the Chief Guest, enhancing the event's significance. This ceremony recognizes students who achieved scores of 85% or higher in their board exams across various boards and disciplines.

Following the successful ceremony in Palampur, which attracted a large audience of students, parents, educators, and esteemed guests, this Dharamshala edition aims to continue the celebration of academic success.

Initiated by a prominent digital news platform in Himachal Pradesh, the Shining Star Awards 4.0 represents more than just an awards ceremony; it is a movement aimed at uplifting and acknowledging young talent. The event is supported by the Minerva Study Centre (Dharamshala & Ghumarwain) and co-sponsored by HIET Group of Institutions and P3Y, Dronacharya, and Digiperform, further expanding its influence.

This initiative builds on the successful legacy of the previous editions held in 2023, 2024, and 2025, celebrating the dedication, effort, and academic achievements of Himachali youth while promoting overall student well-being beyond academics.
