TURA: The Tura Natya Samity, a premiere socio cultural organisation, on Tuesday felicitated the HSLC and SSLC toppers from Garo Hills. West Garo Hills Deputy Commissioner Ram Singh attended the programme as chief guest.
Truth is stranger than fiction , they say and lo and behold, in the felicitation programme, the magic thirteen gave way to the super sixteen, with the inclusion of three other toppers from the plain belts, who had been given an inadvertent ‘miss’ by the media, till MBOSE revealed their identities.
Shahidul Islam Mondal and Ellora Rabha from Paragon English School in Tikrikilla and Bikash Barman from Hari Shanti Niketan Vidyalaya, Mahendraganj had secured the 12th, 15th and 13th positions, respectively, in the SSLC toppers list.
The toppers were given recognition for their achievements in the presence of their parents, teachers, head of schools and colleges, MBOSE officials, district administration officials, NGO leaders, students and other invited guests.
Singh congratulated the toppers and lauded the efforts of the organisers for organising such programme. He said that while these sixteen could excel, it was worth a thought why the others failed. MBOSE Controller of examinations, T R Laloo who attended the programme as Special Invitee, while sharing his thoughts on the occasion complimented the toppers and said that their journey begins from here. He described the SSLC as the mother of all exams and the toppers should strive to continue their pursuit of excellence lifelong. Aeroville Secondary School Principal, Sane B Sangma and Headmaster of Sacred Heart HS school, Williamnagar, Fr Nicholas were some of the other speakers who expressed their thoughts on the occasion.
