Singh said that for the last three years, Word Power Championship is being organized on English subject for the students of class 2 to 5, and in this our children had made the whole state proud by securing first place at the national level last year.

Due to the special efforts of teachers, students and motivators, this time FLN Championship is being organized, in which along with English, Hindi and Mathematics have also been included, so that the students can participate in the competition according to their interest and can increase the pride of the state by becoming the winner.

Addressing the program, Jharkhand Education Project Director Shashi Ranjan said that one should not be disappointed by failure, failure is the foundation of future success. The selected children will be proud of themselves that you were one of the 272 selected from 8 lakh students. This is an achievement in itself.

Ranjan said that instead of focusing on the end result, students should enjoy the process, learn from this experience, and make it a part of their personal and educational journey. Remember, success is not just about achieving a goal, but also about the path you choose. Every step, every challenge and every moment makes you stronger and more knowledgeable.
