Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal felicitated several outstanding and studious students of the tenth and twelfth standards from the various schools of the National Capital Region who had secured more than 90 percent marks in their final board examinations.
About 142 meritorious students of the tenth board and 59 outstanding students of the twelfth board were felicitated by the chief minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal at a function held in Garhwal Bhawan, New Delhi. This was held under the auspices of the biggest social organization of Uttarakhand, primarily for Garhwalies, in the capital called Garhwal Hiteshini Sabha. GHS was formed in 1923 with meager means and resources.
Amongst the first recipients of the meritorious trophies was Khushi Rawat of the tenth standard who’d exceptionally secured 99.4 percent marks and Dhruv Rawat of class 12th who had scored 98.2 percent marks. In all about 201 students who had secured more than 90 percent, marks were felicitated on this occasion. The outstanding children were presented Rs. 1100 each, a memento and a certificate of meritorious appreciation.
In addition to these felicitations Dr. Priya Baluni was honored for successfully completing MBBS and Kumari Supriya Rawat, Kumari Megha, and Anirudh Rawat were awarded for winning the gold and silver medals in 64, 61 and 50 kilograms category in the state boxing championships of 2019.
Apart from these achievers Dr V S Negi and Veer Singh Panwar were also felicitated for successfully winning the Executive Council Election in DUTA and as deputy chairman of East Delhi Municipal Corporation.

The former additional commissioner of Delhi police Dinesh Bhatt was the special chief guest on this occasion. The Garhwal Hiteshini Sabha deserves high appreciation for honoring outstanding and meritorious students as this encourages and helps budding students to progress in life and in their professional careers.
The program was ably anchored by the general secretary of GHS Pawan Maithani. The credit for the success of this noble endeavour primarily goes to the GHS president M S Rana and his entire team of dedicated office bearers.
