Mohammed Lateef Khan, Founder Trustee and Chairman of MS Education Academy and a sponsor for the event, appreciated AMP for taking the lead in organizing the Talent Search Exam nationally and bringing all students together on one platform. He said the #COVID-19 pandemic made it possible that he could address students from so many cities simultaneously today, which was unthinkable before. Thus this pandemic while bringing in problems has also thrown open doors for many new possibilities.
While hosting the event, Prof. Syed Khaleel Ahmed, Project Lead – NTS 2020 and a Mentor & Trainer for last 20 years, said “The winners of this NTS exam have shown that it doesn’t matter what the background is but the students’ hardwork which matters.” He gave example of Miss Asna Fatema, the 2nd prize winner (Rs. 20,000) in the Junior category, who studied in Urdu Girls High School & Junior College, in Buldhana district of Maharshtra.
Razak Shaikh, Head – AMP Projects and the driver of the NTS exam project, said that AMP is like a funnel for gathering talent. He said the main aim of the NTS – 2020 was to make students think of competing on a National level and not be contented of excelling at the city or the state level. He further said that in the next year’s edition, AMP would be looking at a participation of at least 1 lakh student in each category.
