CHONGKHAM, Jan 13: In a historic achievement for the state, two students from the Government Higher Secondary School (GHSS) Chongkham, Namsai district, have been selected as Special Guests for the ceremonial 77th Republic Day celebrations in New Delhi on January 26.
Nang Sujata Jenow and Kusum Kumari Mishra, both Class XII (Science) students, earned this prestigious invitation through their exceptional performance in the School Innovation Marathon (SIM), a national initiative under the Atal Innovation Mission (AIM), NITI Aayog. The duo stood out in a rigorous national online project competition centered on the Management of Plastic Waste. Their project, which emphasized practical solutions for a plastic-free future and showcased a high degree of scientific temper, captured the attention of national evaluators.
Under the guidance of their mentor,  Moirangtham Surchand Singh (PGT Physics), the students developed an innovative approach that aligns with India’s sustainability goals and the Swachh Bharat Mission.
GHSS Chongkham holds the distinction of being the only school selected from Arunachal Pradesh for this honor. This achievement highlights the growing impact of youth-led innovation in the Northeast.
"Their stewardship and hard work have not only brought laurels to our institution but have also proven that our youth are the key to achieving a sustainable India," stated Shri Toni Pertin, Principal of GHSS Chongkham.
The school community and the Namsai district administration have extended their heartiest congratulations to the students and their mentor for this monumental success, which places Arunachal Pradesh on the national map of scientific innovation.
