Mahur's Pride: Mjangblee Kemprai Bags University Gold Medal in MA English, Inspires Youth of Dima Hasao

Haflong Sept 25: In a moment of jubilation for the hills of Dima Hasao, Miss Mjangblee Kemprai, the talented daughter of Babul Kemprai and Smt. Joymila Bodo from Daudung Village in Mahur has been honored with the prestigious University Gold Medal from the Department of English, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Assam Don Bosco University. This accolade recognizes her exceptional achievement of securing the highest Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 9.44 in the Master of Arts (English) programme.

Hailing from the serene village of Daudung, Mjangblee’s journey from the classrooms of Step By Step School to academic stardom exemplifies the untapped potential thriving in Assam's northeastern hills. Her parents, Babul Kemprai, a dedicated community figure, and Smt Joymila Bodo, a renowned teacher whose quiet strength has long anchored the family, beamed with uncontainable pride during a modest celebration at their home yesterday.

"This is not just my daughter's victory,” Babul Kemprai shared his voice thick with emotion amid the gathering of villagers and well-wishers. "It's a beacon for every young soul in our hills who dreams beyond the misty valleys. Her gold medal reminds us that excellence knows no bounds."

Founder, owner, and Principal of Step By Step School, Sheila Lyngdoh, said ‘When a student brings laurels by achieving such excellent results, this becomes the biggest gift to the teacher. Yes, Mjangblee is a dedicated student focused on her studies and deserving of such achievement. She also informed that to date, two of her students have achieved gold medals in the respective fields.

Mjangblee, in her early twenties and known among peers for her eloquent command, dedicated her award to the youth of Dima Hasao. "The hills have taught me resilience, and the words of great authors have given me wings," she said in a brief statement to local reporters. "I hope this inspires my brothers and sisters here to chase their stories with the same fervor. Education is our greatest ally in building a brighter tomorrow for Mahur and beyond."

This achievement adds another glittering chapter to Dima Hasao's growing legacy of excellence. Mjangblee's laurels further cement the narrative of a district punching above its weight, where remote hamlets like Daudung produce trailblazers who illuminate paths for others.
