The TNR Shining Star Awards celebrated its fourth edition in Chamba on Friday, drawing an impressive turnout. Approximately 500 outstanding students from various schools in the Chamba district, who achieved 80% or higher in their Class X and XII board examinations, were honored during the event held at Darbar Hall Chamba. These students, representing both private and government institutions, were joined by their parents and teachers.

Sh. Kuldeep Singh Pathania, the Honorable Speaker of the Himachal Vidhan Sabha, was present to commend the students on this significant occasion. The event was supported by Minerva Study Circle from Ghumarwain and Dharamshala, along with associate partners NHPC and Digiperform, showcasing its expanding influence and reach.

Rakesh Chandel, Managing Director of Minerva Study Circle, expressed pride in the institution's commitment to mentorship, stating, “Over the years, Minerva has consistently nurtured achievers who excel not only in board exams but also in competitive arenas such as JEE Main, JEE Advanced, and NIT admissions. Our philosophy emphasizes that education should extend beyond the classroom, fostering confidence, resilience, and leadership in every student.”

He proudly noted that Minerva has successfully guided over 350 students into careers as doctors and engineers, who now contribute positively to society. Their achievements serve as a testament to the transformative power of proper guidance.

Chandel further remarked, “These awards celebrate not just academic scores but also the values of curiosity, courage, and commitment. They serve as a reminder that every student has the potential to excel when provided with the right support and vision.”

In a special announcement for the youth, he declared that students who registered at the Chamba event would receive complimentary registration for Minerva’s upcoming HIM QUEST Exam.

With Palampur, Dharamshala, and Chamba setting a high standard, the Shining Star Awards 4.0 will soon extend its reach to other districts in Himachal Pradesh, continuing its mission to recognize and inspire young talent.
