The slogan ‘Our daughters, our pride’ has become relevant yet again with
Sunita Rai and Trishala Gurung of Darjeeling being selected in ‘India’s
1st All Female NCC Expedition Team to Mt. Everest’. Both are students
of Southfield College (formerly Loreto college), Darjeeling. Trishala is
a 2nd Year Geography (Hons) student, while Sunita is in her 1st Year BA
programme. The duo was part of the 10 member team that successfully
scaled the 16,800ft Mt. Renak. The Everest team has been selected from
40 candidates from across the country, and of the total 10 selected, one
is from Mirik, two are from Sikkim, while Darjeeling is being
represented by Sunita and Trishala. (HS)
