The Times of India has always been an ardent believer in the youth and their ability to make a mark as tomorrow’s leaders. As India’s leading media house, we believe in encouraging talented young minds and their mentors and rewarding them for their hard work and dedication so that they remain focused.
Times EduShine 2019 is a significant platform to recognise and reward the academically brilliant students of Classes X and XII as well as their mentors—the vice principals or any senior teacher recommended by the school—without whose guidance the students could not have achieved as much. In case of a new entry, the principal would be conferred with the honour along with the students.
Ms. Paridhi Goenka is in the category of “students who have conquered all limitations—the specially-abled and the ones whom financial constraints failed to deter—and passed the board examinations with flying colours.”
