Vision 2022 : “100 women take up have a professional career in a sport of their choice”
Women's sports are seeing quite a revolution in India. At the turn of the millennium, something unprecedented happened — an elusive Olympic medal was won by an Indian woman for the first time when Karnam Malleswari won a bronze at the 2000 Sydney Olympics in weightlifting. Since then, Mary Kom and Saina Nehwal in London 2012, PV Sindhu and Sakshi Malik in Rio 2016 and most recently, Mirabai Chanu, PV Sindhu and Lovlina Borgohain in Tokyo have brought Olympic success to the country.Suffice to say, we are at the face of a rising tide, hurtling towards gender equality in sports. And, we at JTD, wanted to do our bit at levelling the playing field (Pun, intended ). After all, “Mhari choriyan, chorose kam hai ke?”Our vision statement for SFG (Sports For Girls) was simple. We wanted to create equal opportunities for girls in rural areas* so that they could represent sports at its highest levels.
