We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

Happy to share one piece of excellent news on the eve of International Women's Day: our government- trained candidates from West Bengal have fared very well in the prestigious UPSC civil service examimations 2025, and,among them, our girls have secured about half of the coveted top berths as per the just-published results. Congratulations and best wishes to the successful candidates, their parents/ guardians and teachers, and best wishes to all aspirants for future attempts. We are happy that we could provide highly subsidised coaching support to the candidates from our Satyendra Nath Tagore Civil Services Study Centre. In our time, we set up this Institute and I am feeling proud. 11 candidates trained with our Centre have secured top places in the UPSC Civil Services Examination 2025 Final Merit List. Nearly 50% of them are girls. Diksha Rai (40), Akash Kumar Rai (279), Vaishna Biswas (367), Goutam Thakuri (432), Debjyoti Halder (443), Debabrata Pramanik (467), S. Nived Kumar (486), Mohsina Bano (648), Juhi Das (649), Kirti Chowdhury (760), and Anniela Sherpa (893) received our state government coaching and have brought laurels to Bengal by securing impressive ranks, as mentioned in the brackets. They are likely to enter IAS, IPS and other premier services. There are also others from West Bengal who have succeeded in this all-India examination and are expected to enter the apex services. Our encouragement and constant care have inspired our youth, and this achievement will in turn encourage many more to aspire for All-India competitive examinations from West Bengal. Kudos to these bright boys and girls for their achievements. The Government of West Bengal is with you!
