Pritam Rani Siwach

Pritam Rani Siwach, former captain of the Indian women’s hockey team, started an academy for underprivileged girls in Sonepat, Haryana. Her academy has produced Olympians like Neha Goyal, Nisha Warsi and Sharmila Devi, and given hundreds of others an education and a secure livelihood.

A week after the birth of her child, hockey legend Pritam Rani Siwach didn’t know whether she would ever play for India. Three years later, she won the Commonwealth Games gold! #WomenInSports #RealLifeHeroine
