How India will play like this – How will daughters grow?

Chandigarh’s Ritu says that luck brought her to this juncture.

At this time, the excitement of the Tokyo Olympics is rising above everyone’s head. The daughters of the country are raising the name of themselves and the country by taking medals and the governments are also declaring funds for them. At the same time, there is also a daughter in the midst of all this who has played in boxing, wrestling and volleyball till national and state. But now he is forced to cut the parking slips in the scorching sun and rain. Had luck favored her, perhaps she too would have been playing the Olympics at this time.

In front of family compulsions, he ended his hobbies, his desires. But even today his hopes remain intact. After her pictures, videos and story went viral on social media, she is hopeful that maybe someone will come forward to promote her and she will be able to fulfill her dreams. Apart from her in the family of 23-year-old Ritu, there are parents, elder brother who is a cook in a hospital and two younger brothers who have recently completed 12th standard.

Ritu, a resident of Dhanas, Chandigarh, started her game at the age of 10 with the Sector-35 model and then took it forward in the Sector-20 model. From 2014 to 2017 he also played several tournaments in all three supports. Won Bronze Medal in Boxing in National School Games in Telangana in 2017 in 60-62 weight category.

Also played National in Volleyball and got certificate after playing National in Wrestling. Won 1-1 Gold and 1-1 Silver medal in Volleyball and Boxing at State level and won 1 Gold Medal in Wrestling. While dreaming of advancing further in the world of sports, in the meantime, the father became ill. He used to drive a rickshaw.

He got sugar and cataract after which he had to give up his sports and studies midway. At the behest of sports teacher Paramjit Singh, he studied 12th from the open board and after that started doing small work on the dhyanis. For the last one year, she has been cutting the parking slips in Shastri Market of Sector-22. She wants to join the army and has also filled the form for that.

People talk even with misbehavior
Getting emotional says that I was inspired by Mary Kom and Khelo India Khelo. Maybe now the Olympics would have been playing as well. But luck has brought it to such a juncture that sometimes people also speak rudely. You don’t tell them anything? On asking this, Ritu says – Will I speak Didi? But it feels bad. He gets 350 rupees a day here and the cost of his father’s medicine is 10 thousand rupees per month.

The family did it on support…
Ritu was also fully supported by her parents and colleagues but she fell behind due to no help from the government. She also once went to the Sports Complex Sector 42 but was told that her scholarship had expired. Ritu says that players should get scholarships on time so that they can continue their sports and bring glory to the country.

Let us inform that recently, there has been some support from the chairperson of Punjab Women’s Commission Manisha Gulati. Manisha has recommended to the government that Ritu should be given a government job. Manisha said that she would recommend to the government about the national player Ritu that she should be given a police job. Let us tell you that not only the season alone, there are many such players across the country who are forced to leave their dreams in the middle and stumble in the process of raising their families.
