A Proud Moment for GD Goenka Roorkee: Reyansh Verma Wins Silver in 10m Pistol Shooting at the Uttarakhand State Championship
Every once in a while, a student's achievement reminds an entire school community of just how much young talent, dedication and determination can accomplish. This is exactly the feeling at GD Goenka Roorkee as we celebrate the outstanding achievement of Reyansh Verma, a bright young student of Grade 3, who has brought immense pride to our school.

A Well-Deserved Silver Medal
Reyansh recently won the Silver Medal in 10m Pistol Shooting at the Under-12 Uttarakhand Inter School State Championship 2026, held in Dehradun. Competing against talented young shooters from across the state, Reyansh's performance stood out as a true testament to his hard work, focus and precision in a sport that demands exceptional concentration and steady nerves.

Shooting is a sport that requires remarkable calm, patience, and mental discipline — qualities that are often challenging even for adults to master. At an age when most children are just beginning to explore their interests, Reyansh has already shown the kind of focus and composure that champions are made of — training consistently, staying steady under pressure and giving his very best on the biggest stage of his young sporting journey so far.

The Values Behind the Achievement
Achievements like this rarely happen overnight. Behind every medal lies months of practice, countless small efforts, and the unwavering support of parents, coaches and teachers who believed in a child's potential. Reyansh's success is a beautiful reflection of exactly this — dedication paired with encouragement, resulting in a moment of pride for himself, his family, and his entire school community.

At GD Goenka Roorkee, we believe that achievements like Reyansh's aren't just about the medal itself — they're about the values a child builds along the way: perseverance, focus, resilience and the confidence to compete and give their best, regardless of the outcome.

 Celebrating Every Step of the Journey
We are incredibly proud to see one of our young students represent GD Goenka Roorkee with such distinction on a state-level platform. Achievements like this inspire not just Reyansh's classmates but the entire school community, reminding every child that with the right dedication and support, they too can achieve remarkable things.

This is only the beginning of what promises to be an exciting journey for Reyansh, and we cannot wait to see how far his passion and hard work will take him in the years ahead.

Congratulations, Reyansh Verma, on this incredible achievement! Your dedication, focus, and determination have made your school, your family and your entire community incredibly proud. Keep shining — your journey to excellence has only just begun and GD Goenka Roorkee will be cheering you on every step of the way.
