Guwahati, July 21: In a landmark achievement for Assam, Krispita Pradhan, a Class 8 student from Udalguri district, has secured admission into the prestigious Rashtriya Indian Military College (RIMC) in Dehradun, becoming the first female cadet from the state to do so.

The Assam Education Minister Ranoj Pegu congratulated her through his official X handle, extending “heartiest congratulations” to Krispita and calling it “a proud moment for all of us.”

The Chief Executive Member of the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC), Pramod Boro, also extended his greetings, noting that Krispita is the first student from both the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) and Assam to be admitted to the RIMC. He praised her dedication and described her as a trailblazer for the youth of the region.
