Class VII student wins gold at state-level event, does school proud

In a classroom at Nankana Sahib Public School, Gill Park, Harshita, a Class VII student, was quietly mastering the art of strategy. While most children her age were still discovering their hobbies, Harshita was already learning how to read the board like a battlefield—one move at a time.

Last week, her dedication paid off. During the state chess tournament at IPS Chuharpur, organised under the 69th Punjab School Education Board, Harshita stunned seasoned competitors from across the state by clinching the gold in the Under-14 girls category. Her victory wasn’t just a personal milestone—it was a moment of pride for her school, mentors and every student with towering dreams.

“This achievement reflects the hard work of our students and the guidance of our dedicated mentors,” said Principal Harmeet Kaur Waraich, beaming with pride, adding that “It proves that focus and strategy always lead to success.”

Harshita’s journey to the top wasn’t paved with privilege or shortcuts. It was built on early mornings, quiet practice sessions and a belief that intelligence isn’t just about answers—it’s about anticipation.

Her win has sparked a wave of motivation across NSPS. Students now speak of chess not just as a game, but as a metaphor for life—where every move counts and patience is power.

In an age dominated by screens and distractions, Harshita’s story is a reminder that discipline and mental agility still shine. It’s also a testament to the role of schools in nurturing talent—not only academically, but also in arenas where character is built.

Her gold medal isn’t just a piece of metal—it’s a symbol of what happens when a young girl dares to dream and a school stands behind her, added Principal Waraich.

As NSPS celebrates this victory, Harshita’s story continues to inspire. Because sometimes, the most powerful moves come from the quietest players.
