JOWAI, July 5: The National People’s Youth Front (NPYF), Jowai Block, on Saturday felicitated 137 students who excelled in the SSLC and HSSLC examinations during a programme held at the District Library Auditorium, Mynthong, Jowai.

On the other hand, NPYF Jowai Block president, Samehi Laloo, acknowledged the support of the MLA and the collaboration of party members from West Jaintia Hills district in making the programme possible.
During the programme, the students were encouraged to set clear goals to achieve success as well as asked to maintain discipline and good character in their daily lives.
It may be mentioned that of the 137 students felicitated, 74 had succeeded in the SSLC and 63 in the HSSLC examinations.
The programme also featured musical performances by the students, which added vibrancy to the day’s celebration.
