Tura, Feb 5, 2025: Cherian Momin Social Activist from Tura, congratulated to Gracy Marak of Parokhowa Garo Basti, Karbi Anglong, District for her outstanding achievement in leading the NCC Contingent at the 76th Republic Day Parade in New Delhi and being honored with the prestigious “Best Commander” award in the Prime Minister’s Rally.

Gracy’s achievement is more than an individual triumph it is a historic moment that resonates deeply with the aspirations of the Garo community and the entire Northeast region. Her leadership at such a significant national event highlights the dedication, discipline, and perseverance that young Northeasterners bring to every field. It is a moment of recognition for the talent and potential that often remains overlooked in mainstream narratives, said Momin.

She serve as an inspiration to the youth of Meghalaya and the Northeast, proving that with commitment and hard work, even those from remote areas can shine on the grandest platforms. The values instilled in Gracy through the NCC leadership, integrity, and resilience are the very qualities that define the spirit of the Garo people.

When representation matters more than ever, Gracy’s success sends a strong message: the voices and contributions of the Northeast are integral to the fabric of India. Her journey will surely encourage more young people, especially girls, to step forward and lead, be it in uniformed services, academics, sports, or governance.

As a social activist, “I see this achievement as a reflection of the emerging leadership and aspirations of our youth. It is also a call for greater support, encouragement, and opportunities for young talents from marginalized and underrepresented communities” added Cherian Momin.

He urged the Government of Meghalaya and the broader Northeast leadership to recognize and celebrate such achievements, ensuring that young leaders like Gracy Marak receive the platform and resources needed to excel further. Let this be a stepping stone toward a more inclusive and empowered future for our region.

“My deepest congratulations to Gracy Marak a role model for the Garo community and a beacon of hope for the youth of the Northeast. May her success be the first of many such triumphs in the years to come” said Momin.
