Tura, Aug 5: The border town of Mahendraganj in South West Garo Hills (SWGH) has a reason to celebrate as one of its young residents has achieved a remarkable feat by securing the top position in Mathematics in the recently announced results by NEHU.
Al Amin Miah, a consistently outstanding performer, had previously secured the 11th rank in his SSLC examinations and went on to attain the 3rd position in the state in the HSSLC – Science stream. Now, he has outdone himself by achieving over 96% in Mathematics, leading the university exam’s honour roll.
Hailing from the village of Kamarpara, Al Amin completed his 10th from Hari Shanti Niketan Vidyalaya in Mahendraganj. As the first batch to appear for exams at the school, he later joined St. Anthony’s HS School before pursuing higher education at a college in Shillong.
In an interview, Al Amin credited his success to his unwavering curiosity and dedication to learning. “Coming from a village, I didn’t have many opportunities, but I never stopped trying. My parents and brothers always believed in me and provided unwavering support. When I studied, I was driven by a thirst for knowledge, and I never stopped until I had a complete understanding of the subject. Asking questions is crucial to finding answers,” he expressed.
Expressing his gratitude, Al Amin acknowledged the role of his family, including his parents, brothers, and sister-in-laws, in shaping his journey. “My parents always believed in me and never forced me into anything. They guided me and had faith that whatever I pursued, I would excel in it. My mother’s strength in adversity inspired me to be resilient in any situation. I am also thankful to my teachers for their guidance and support; they have played a significant role in molding me into who I am today,” he added.
Currently, Al Amin is pursuing his MSc from IISER, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, a prestigious centrally funded institute. Looking ahead, he plans to pursue a Ph.D. from a reputable institute in India or abroad, if possible, before considering the option of UPSC.
Al Amin’s exceptional achievements and determination serve as an inspiration to the entire region, demonstrating that talent and hard work can lead to extraordinary success, regardless of one’s background.
