Aswani Das, a tribal girl from Kambalakkad in Wayanad district, has proved her mettle as a fitness trainer, a domain largely confined to men. She is about to fly to Abu Dhabi to take up a job as a fitness trainer.
With strong determination and perseverance, the 21-year-old girl managed to beat the odds to become a fitness trainer, perhaps the first woman fitness trainer from the tribal community in the State.
While Ms. Das was pursuing her Plus Two at Government Higher Secondary School at Kaniyampetta, she attended a district-level powerlifting competition. She was selected for a State-level completion and bagged fourth place in it. “This achievement inspired me to become a physical trainer,” says Ms. Das.
