Imphal, June 16 2014:
While many moan over lack of alleged opportunities available to them in the State, there are some like Sarrah, Zenith and Anjali who have scripted their own success path through research, grit and determination.
All three of them have one thing in common�they all bagged a 100 percent scholarship for a full study course in the USA.
While the former two bagged the coveted scholarship last year, Khundrakpam Anjali is the proud recipient of the scholarship from Manipur this year.
Anjali is resident of Ningthoukhong bazaar in Bishnupur district.
This is a very keenly contested International Scholarship programme in which less than a dozen candidates get selected from India.
Until now, there used to be hardly any representation from Manipur.

But for the last two years, local students from the State successfully got selected for two consecutive years.
A major part of the credit goes to Career CliniQ, a career advisory body under the supervision of Directorate of Higher Education located at the DM College of Arts campus, Imphal.
Career CliniQ has been instrumental in bringing this awareness level among the students and encouraging students with challenging circumstances to take the challenge and contest at a national level.
"I'm currently pursuing BBA studies from Darwin School of Business, a premier management institution at Guwahati.
Now I've completed my fifth semester," Anjali told newsmen at Manipur Press Club here Monday.
Anjali said she appeared the scholarship exam through online and added she will be getting 700 USD per month besides pursuing her study at Houston Community College, US for one year.
Every student here can get such prestigious foreign scholarship with hard work and efforts, she said, adding students who have passed 12 standards have the opportunities to get national scholarship too.
