Responding to the student, Sangma said there is no single formula for overcoming life’s challenges, as every individual’s journey is different.

“There is no single answer that fits everyone. But if you truly believe in yourself and pursue what you are passionate about, you will always find the strength to move forward,” the Chief Minister said, offering reassurance and encouragement to the student.
Following his response, Sangma walked up to the student and hugged her, a gesture that drew applause from those present at the venue.

The interaction has also sparked broader discussion online about the importance of addressing emotional well-being, self-confidence and mental health alongside academic development in schools, highlighting the need for supportive environments that encourage students to openly express their struggles.
