Philanthropist Donates Rs 20,000 to Mizoram 10th Topper Lalrinnungi

Aizawl, May, 30, 2019:

In an exemplary show of compassion and kindheartedness, a philanthropist has donated a generous sum of money to two of the brightest shining beacons of Mizoram state in the Northeast --Lalrinnungi and Given Lawmnakima Thiak.

The duo performed very strongly in the Mizoram board exams, earning distinction in the Xth exams. What sets these two students apart is that they were able to show such strong results despite belonging to economically-backward families. While Lalrinnuigi is a vegetable seller's daughter, Given's father is a poor farmer in Mizoram's Kolasib district.

Both had to struggle hard while pursuing their studies -- while Lalrinnuigi had to help her parents sell vegetables at the bustling markets of Aizawl, while Given, whose family is into 'jhum' cultivation', often had to help his family out in thee fields. Lalrinnungi topped the HSLC exam, among 17,000 students in Mizoram, by scoring 97.2 per cent. Given also excelled in the exam and scored letter

After going through the reports of these youngsters performing so well, an Indian Australian in Sydney has decided to offer financial assistance to the duo by providing them with Rs. 20,000 each, which is expected to be of great benefit to these students in their pursuit for higher education. The good samaritan, however, has chosen to remain anonymous. He did this by transferring the amount to a reporter's bank account, who then gave the money to the two bright youngsters.

Both the students are currently pursuing studies in the Science Stream at the St Joseph Higher Secondary School in Aizawl. To the school's immense credit, the school principal has admitted them free of cost after taking into consideration their economic backgrounds.
