District Sports Coordinator Saroj Kumar: There is no denying that India’s daughters are proving their strength in every field—education, IT, business and sports. The young girls of Jharkhand’s Hazaribagh are no exception.

With determination in their eyes and dreams in their hearts, they are working tirelessly with one goal: to one day wear the Indian jersey, compete in the Olympics, and return home with medals for the nation.

The Asmita Athletics League has become a major stepping-stone towards that dream. Organised by the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports, the Sports Authority of India (SAI), and the Athletics Federation of India, this league is designed especially for girls under the age of 14 and 16. Its primary mission is to give talented girls from villages and small towns the same opportunities that boys have traditionally enjoyed.
