The journey for these students began with a national-level competition. Specifically, Nang Sujata Jenow and Kusum Kumari Mishra excelled in the School Innovation Marathon (SIM). This contest is a major initiative under the Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) of NITI Aayog. Both girls are Class 12 Science students at the Government Higher Secondary School (GHSS) in Chongkham.
Through their hard work, two students from Arunachal’s Namsai stood out among thousands of participants across India. They focused their research on a critical global issue: plastic waste management. Their project proposed realistic and practical solutions for a plastic-free future. Consequently, national evaluators praised their “scientific temper” and their ability to address real-world environmental challenges.
Guidance and Mentorship at GHSS Chongkham
Success in such a rigorous competition requires more than just talent. It also requires steady mentorship. Under the guidance of their teacher, Moirangtham Surchand Singh (PGT Physics), the students refined their ideas into a winning project. Their innovative approach aligns perfectly with India’s sustainability goals and the Swachh Bharat Mission.
GHSS Chongkham holds a unique distinction this year. It is the only school from Arunachal Pradesh selected for this national honor. Principal Toni Pertin expressed immense pride in the achievement. He noted that the stewardship of these two students from Arunachal’s Namsai proves that youth are the key to a sustainable India. Their dedication has brought recognition not only to their school but also to the entire district.
A Moment of National Pride for the Northeast
The invitation to the Republic Day parade is a rare honor. It places these students among a select group of special guests invited by the central government. As they watch the parade at Kartavya Path, they will represent the aspirations of millions of students from remote regions. This recognition proves that geographic distance is no barrier to excellence in the digital age.
Furthermore, the state government and Namsai district administration have extended their heartiest congratulations. This achievement puts Arunachal Pradesh on the national map of scientific innovation. It also encourages other students in the region to participate in national platforms like the Atal Tinkering Labs.
Conclusion: Inspiring the Next Generation
The story of these two students from Arunachal’s Namsai is more than just a win for a single school. It is a testament to the power of curiosity and environmental consciousness. By tackling plastic waste, Nang Sujata Jenow and Kusum Kumari Mishra have shown that young minds can lead the way in policy and practice.
As they prepare for their journey to the national capital, they carry the hopes of their community. Their presence at the Republic Day parade will be a reminder of the diverse talent that fuels India’s progress. Truly, these young scientists are the ambassadors of a greener and smarter tomorrow.
